There are no errors in the device manager, and I can't even get into the display properties to see if it's detected. When I uninstall the drivers and reboot, Windows re-installs the driver, so the system has detected it.

I haven't tried with reference drivers, just the 4.6 driver, but as soon as I take the suspect card out and put my other card in, it works fine. Looks like a bad card.

I was experimenting with making a crossover cable with a floppy drive cable. Could I have damaged it if I didn't get the correct wires crossed?

Not sure if this is the correct part of the forum for this, but I thought I'd ask. A little while ago I bought a second Diamond Monster 2 to compliment the one I've had since new. I fabbed up an SLI cable for it, but I suspected it wasn't done properly since the games had some corruption.

I don't know what I did, but the newer card seemed to stop working completely at some point. I just re-installed Windows 98se using the new card solo. I can't load any games, or even the display properties with this card. When I uninstall the driver and put my old card in, it works fine. The new card does appear to have some mismatched ram chips, but they are both Diamond Monster 2 cards. Anyone have any suspicions, or am I SOL?

Old post, I know, but I've been (trying) to get my voodoo setups working on some classic machines I still have.

My first 3dfx experience came when I went to a local computer mega-store and saw what the Diamond Monster did for GLQuake. It was 1000% better than the stock graphics. I was working for the dad of a friend of mine fixing computers, and he gave this to me as payment, and it was totally awesome.

Most of my early games with it were GLQuake, Quake2 and Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries. A couple years later I bought a Voodoo 2 and continued with my standard gaming until they faded away. I still kept them, though. I'm playing some 3dfx games on some old computers now and it sure brings back memories. The 96-99 years were totally awesome for computers.

My best memories were with MW2:Mercs. I played on MERCNET all of the time and although the game was buggy with one of their patches, the graphics were awesome. The machine I had in my glory days was a K6 233, overclocked to 250@83mhzm with my Voodoo2. This was with an early mobo, so the PCI slots were running a full 41.5mhz. I remember ALWAYS being the first to drop into a game, even against dual PII 333's and OC'd Celeron 300a's.

Damnit, you guys are getting me all nostalgic!
