Virtual PC Harddisk expander came out with the 2.1.3 update I think.
Its 144k if you'd like it sent to you.
I'm sorry I cant help more but thank you for showing a use for OS9.0.4
Some tips for VPC from John, 11 months ago regarding VPC
1) allocate at least 128mb of RAM, more if available.
2) Install Peek-A-Boo on the Mac side. Kill all
unneeded apps, and increase the priority of VPC to
high.
3) Disable all unneeded startup programs in Windows.
4) Make two Windows 'hard drives' on two different
real hard drives if you have them. Place your Windows
swap file on one, and the system/boot stuff on the
other.
5) Under Windows, go to the System control panel,
Performance tab, file system button. Change to
'Network Server'.
6) Do the standard Windows defrag.
7) There is at least one program that does #2 above,
but I have never used it.
Hope this helps!
As do I. :)
