maybe this is the problem?

"Realistically as their published requirements stand there is one difference from Windows 7: Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM). Windows 7 would work with older XPDM drivers (albeit without any of the benefits of WDDM), however Windows 8 specifically mentions WDDM as a requirement."

the Windows 7 Voodoo driver is a "XPDM" driver?

I'm using Windows 8 Developer Preview and can't install my Voodoo 4 with the SFFT drivers.
The system says the driver is not compatible with that version of Windows.

Windows 8 describes the board as Microsoft Basic Display Adapter.
