If you can't get drivers for it, I wouldn't bother. Also, not every webcam is suitable for astrophotography. I mean, it may work, but the sensitivity and pixel size of the CCD (or CMOS) chip is the main concern.
If you've got some specs for the device, we may be able to say whether it could be suitable?
The ToUcam 900nc is still the best (budget) webcam for getting into astrophotography of the moon and planets. You can get it with adapter (so no need to pull it apart etc), for around $200 from telescopes-astronomy in adelaide.
There's also a lot of other people using them, so you'll get lots of (good0 advice about settings, capture parameters etc.
