Title: About Amigamerlin 3.0

Quote:

Our beta testers are working to testing performance compatiblity of a new drivers set for 3dfx VSA-100/1 based cards named Amigamerlin 3.0. With this release we aim to get full support for 3dfx Voodoo4 and Voodoo5 (5500 and 6000) on Windows 2000/XP platforms: a good new is an innovatory Direct3D driver section, which allows playing TnL games.
Testing includes Voodoo3 based systems too: when our work 'll be ended Amigamerlin 3.0 'll be on line for download from 3dfxzone.it servers.

Next...

If somebody knows: Will there be Amigamerlin 3.0 for 9x / Me ???
(Amigamerlin talks only Windows 2000/XP but he hasn't said anything about 9x / Me ...)

I thought the amigamerlin were more advanced on the win9x platform ( 2.9 vs 2.5 ).

but these are only version number ;D
anyway the 2.9 work very well

glad to see they're still continueing

Any speculation when 3.0 might be released. What type of performance improvements might we see besides the allowing of TnL games and the integration with Voodoo 3 as compared to Amigamerlin 2.5 SE.

My Info's are sparse as well, but I believe the Focus might be on further Voodoo5 6000 fixes, and a rest of Voodoo4/5-general enhancements.

I'm curious about what they did about the T&L thing as well...

This is exciting and worth the wait!

Sorry for asking a repetitive question that has obviously already been answered.
