Reply #180 - 26.05.05 at 13:26:48 Some stuff that has come in the last few weeks- Floppies with new logo package, business cards & matches. Might sell off the matches in blocks of 4 or 5, I don't need a box of them. Very cool 3500 T-shirt, I'm not much in the shirts but design is cool and price was right. 3dfx penknife, new.

Whoa, whoa and even more WHOA! Shocked

Serianl number of the unit I own.

Midway decal on production unit which mine doesn't have.

Comparision of the production unit vs. the unit I have.

Notice the production unit has black painted plate around upper connectors and ATX plate is typical polished unit while the one I have they are both natural steel.

The upper connector runs to the secondary IDE channel, I suspect it's for loading the game and upgrades. Plug in external CD-ROM and away you go. The lower connector is a Midway part and interfaces with cabinet wiring.

Also notice that the production box uses a regular V3-3000 with TV and the box I have is equipped with a V3-3000 with no TV, dated 19-1999.

is there a way to get those unique dual Head drivers? and if so could a voodooMAC 5500 also use the dual Head Function with a PC bios?

Quote:

1) I doubt it.

2) I have no idea, it would depend on the bios, the card and the drivers.

I don't have not enough info even to speculate.

It's been some time since this discussion but I have only found it.

Is there no function that was built in order to support a dual display on the Voodoo5 MAC?

If not, was the dual head layout just to give the user more flexibility on what monitor they could use with the card? ???

Could the card be made to support dual display? e.g. third party software? I suspect any modification to the BIOS to enable this feature would be fraught with difficulty. I aint too good with low-level languages.

1) Mac OS 9 that is on my machine supports dual display as I have run two monitors at a time using a 3dfx card and the on-board video.

2) I have no idea if dual display will work just off the 5500 PCI as I do not own the proper LCD with required connector.

The Mac 5500 PCI in a PC? I have no idea, I suspect some bios & software work would be required.

The souce of my 5500 dual head AGP was clear that unique drivers were very much required for use as dual head, at least in a PC.
