Well my 3dfx friends, the truth does reveal it's self, we have discussed lots about the Velocity 200, and those topics still ended in doubts hehe, well I have proof like Gary, Oscar, yxfy do.
The driver install was rather a tricky thing to go through, I have tried all types of Velocity 100/200 drivers, but they just seem to be control apnnels, I even tried your Velocity 100/200 driver FalconFly, but that also seem to be a Controlpannel only driver.
So I searched out some other ideas, cause look'n at 16 colours isn't very pleasant haha. SO I tried the AMigaMerlin2.9, that was a nogo, kep the 16 colours, tried some other 3rd party drivers like the ones from 3Dhq, well my Velocity 200 friends even that is a nogo.
So I remembered that Gary Told me to use the origanla 3dfx drivers , but I didn't remember which ones lol, damn memory loss, I suppose it's my age lol. So I \came acros this driver on FalconFly's 3dfx Archives Driver Page:

As you can see, the Velocity 200 is called Voodoo3, maybe this is because that it's one of the first working Prototypes, it's a Rev.A0 2699 that from week 26 and year 1999, quite early model, the most models were mostly after week 32.
It's Bios chip also has a V3.2000 sticker, so maybe that declares the Voodoo3 2000/3000 driver ;)
