 I've found the
Japanese update, but that's not going to help me much.
Any suggestions?
I can mail it to you as an attachment, if you wish

Thanks for the offer, but I found it.  I searched for a few
hours online last night and found one site that had the
updates for 2.1.1, 2.1.2, 2.1.3, the HD Expander, and the
VPC Additions for 2.1.1.  The site also had updates for VPC
1.  I recall a site having the updates for 3, 4, and 5 - I
wonder if they would add these.
I downloaded everything for v2 except the 2.1.1. update,
since that is the version on my VPC CD.  As soon as I get a
chance, I'm burning them to a couple of CDs.
Dumb question - did the Voodoo also work with VPC 3?
I'll let you know how it goes.

Well, I've installed the Voodoo 2 in my 9600/300.  I've installed VPC 
2.1.1, and updated it to 2.1.3.  I've expanded the default image size 
to 511MB.  I've installed the Voodoo 2 drivers.  So far, there is no 
option to enable the Voodoo 2 card in the preferences of Virtual PC.

I'll try installing the VPC 3 upgrade and try it on there as well.
It's just as slow as I remember it. :)

VPC 3 does support the Voodoo 1/2 cards!  However, a 2D only video card 
must be present - it won't work with newer 2D/3D cards.  The 9600 used 
to have an ATI Nexus 128 in it.  I thought I removed all of the 
ATI-related control panels and extensions - I guessed I messed a few.

Currently it has a Twin Turbo 128 in it, but the 3dfx extensions for 
the Voodoo 2 are nowhere to be seen.
