3dfx Archive - VoodooMAC BIOSes

R21vo Junior Member Offline Posts: 85 Latvia Gender:	VoodooMAC BIOSes 24.07.05 at 00:41:21 I was looking for voodoo MAC bioses, does anyone know where to get 'em? Maybe somebody can dump them? There's ony one MAC bios on Stanto's site for v5 5500, it's unknown version. I'm looking for any 3dfx voodoo MAC bioses (v3,v4,v5).

So I imagine what is being said is:

- If you use the VoodooMAC card as a primary (which is the one you wish to dump the BIOS from) use the app in DOS mode.

- If you use the MAC card as a secondary, be sure to use a non-voodoo (or non-3dfx to be certain Wink

) card when trying to dump from a VoodooMAC card or any other 3dfx card for that matter.
