Hrm. I now have a copy of Virtual PC 2.1 (thanks to atireduser!)

But...

I really want to run it on my B&W G3, in Mac OS 8.6. Unfortunately, there is a known incompatibility which requires the (free) 2.1.2 update for it to run in 8.6.

Well, Connectix is now long gone; and Microsoft doesn't offer up any old Connectix-era updates. Anyone have this updater lying around on some forgotten corner of a disk?

(P.S. I'm posting this from the G3, in 8.6, via Classilla. Thanks, ClassicHasClass!)

One fun factoid from the ReadMe that I hadn't known before: Virtual PC 2 supports direct hardware access of 3Dfx cards! It wasn't until 10 years later that VMware got the ability to directly access a 3D accelerator.
