I know.But on my system everithing is ok.And all this notes about board diferences is not for me:)
In my system everithing is fine.But i have one problem (with all version of mismatched drivers)
I have a trouble with 2D.When windows 98 start, part of icons is white.And some text is _________
So i tried to reinstall many ATI catalyst drivers but nothing has happened.I could not soul this problem yet.
Maybe you know wat is it.Oh yes! I forget! When i install Matrox Mistique 220 PCI 4Mb evrithing ok.Maybe its Radeon's problem?
And one more about.With your drivers, when Vsync is disabled i have a picture problem in Glide API.For example in Unreal when i move mouse fast part of lines going left and another going right.When Vsync is enabled all is OK.I think it's because one Voodoo is 90Mhz and another is 93Mhz.And when the rendering in SLI one of them is slower than another one.I am waiting for WinXP release of mismatched drivers!:))

yes, is so.. compliments for the sharpness..!
i solved also taking both voodoo2 to 97 mhz using voodoo2 oc

the problem "with icons" is guilt of the radeon i suppose..

if you are in contact with andre onsnovich why don't ask to him to develope the windws xp version of his driver?

I am not in contact with Andrey. In Windows 98 i need to solve problem with icons because after some time of working i can't understand anything on my screen.So i heart that Amigamerlin XP had some problems with Radeon 9xxx cards.But all those problems are gone.Maybe i'll try to fix this? Oh yes! When i install one Voodoo2 everithing is FINE.
And one more question.Why you can't change the standart 3Dfx drives design.I mean icons pictures menus.I think its very nice to see some differences between standart and mismatched drivers.If my idea is interesting for you i am ready to help:)

thanks for support, White Voodoo Master..but during the develope of the mismatched, my primary objective was to run everything fine..the "make up" will be in a far future, i suppose, i am very busy busy busy busy at the moment..if you want, feel free to mod them, no problem..!

the one thing that i surely do the next release is to ripristinate the old 3dfx welcome screen..do you remember it?

Oh yes!I remember. I'ts very nice that you do not forget to update your drivers!:) I'am understand that you very very busy.Me too.
I have much experience in 3DSmax and i have and idea.What if my experience may be used to write demo in GLIDE mode?
Maybe it's stuped, but i supose it would be very interesting for Voodoo fans:)
Can you say how soon you will make new drivers release?

[Manuelson]

surely during summer..i'll concentrate my attention to xp mismathed  sli drivers..

Hi,

The trouble with 2D is due to "buggy" Catalyst drivers. I've been using a couple of Voodoo2 in SLI under Win98SE with Matrox G200, S3 Savage4, Nvidia GeForce256 DDR (by Creative) and PowerVR Kyro II (by Hercules), and none of them showed any incompatibility problem with 3dfx cards. Recently I got an ATI Radeon 9000 Pro (by Gigabyte) and desktop began to show garbage, corrupted icons and mouse pointers, incomplete texts and general unstability. I tried different Catalyst drivers (3.8, 4.2) with 3dfx's official 3.02.02 and some FastVoodoo2 releases, but nothing solved the trouble. The garbage dissapeared only when I took both 3dfx cards off the system.

Moral of the story: don't mix Radeon and Voodoo2 cards together.
