Elsewhere within this site (
http://www.descent2.de/index.html), there's a reference to upgrading D2 to version 1.5 in order to run D2 on a newer machine. Where can I find this patch?

You mean 1.2. There is no 1.5 patch for Descent 2. The 1.5 version is the most up-to-date version for the first Descent.

You can update both Descent and Descent2 from those two links.

I have reached D2 heaven!
I have a 1G processor and installed Win98 on a separate partition so as to run D1 and D2. The mouse play action was terrible, the ship bounced so much I needed Dramamine, and the levels I created lost all their custom textures and would not segue into a mission.
I patched D2 to v1.2, copied my D1 mission into the D2 folder, and then ran the game using D2X-XL.
OMIGOD! The play action is super, the visual detail is smooth as glass, and I can play all my missions with no CD-Rom. Plus, there's an enormous amount of additional configuration options.
This is the way it's supposed to be. Thanks to
http://www.descent2.de/ for a very informative website. Descent is a great game!

I will fix the erroneous information about the latest D2 patch.
