Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but 3DConnexion stopped supporting the Spacemouse Plus back in 2009.

If you do manage to find a driver that old, it is most likely that the plugin for Solidworks 2013 will not work with it.
It is even less likely that a driver that old would work with Windows 8 at all.
