It came out after the voodoo2, and I imagine (though I can't back this up) that the banshee is closer to the voodoo2 than the voodoo3. I think (and I will have to check this at home) that when I run the glide test binaries, I get errors about not being able to access the /dev/3dfx device. Can anyone give me more information about what supplies this 3dfx device? I will email more precise details about the errors, and which binaries I was trying tonight sometime. Cheers Geoff
