I got the Voodoo 2 working on VPC 3 last night. There are no options in VPC preferences. If it is present, it will show a device listed under 'Other Devices' in Windows. I installed the Creative 3D Blaster 2 drivers, then it appeared in Device Manager. I then proceeded to test it by installing Asteroids (the newer one by Atari/Infogrammes). It took a while to install, but played well. There's a delay of a second or two between doing something in the game and the corresponding sound playing. All of this was on the 9600/300, with a 511MB image file and 96MB allocated to VPC 3, resulting in a PC with 80MB RAM. I'll try it with RealPC 1.1.1 tonight.
