Voodoo4 4500 5th Anniversary-Mod
14.12.05 at 12:26:39
 
Tomorrow 5 years ago 3dfx was bought by NVIDIA  Cry ... but we are here to pay tribute to 3dfx...
Here is my little Mod.

What we need: Voodoo4 4500 AGP, Voodoo3 3000 TV AGP (damaged), DVI-Add-On-Karte (HP), hot air blower (is that the right translation?)

...
Here is my Voodoo4 4500 AGP:

...
On this picture you see a functional Voodoo3 3000. I do not use this one. I bought a damaged one.
Here I took the TV-Out + chip from the PCB.

...
And here is one little rarity. In this original packed box you can find a DVI-D-Addon-card. I could not use another connector coz original 3dfx prototypes had DVI-D-connector. too.

...
And here it is - inclusive Silicon Image DVI-Chip.

...
Here you can see the DVI-D-connector.

...
The stripped one Wink I disconnected the soldering point of DVI-connector and chip with the hot air blower.

...
Finnaly here you can see the Voodoo4 48...ähh 4500 Wink

...
On this picture you can see that I only connected the chips. No SMD-stuff! Therefore I do not own the equipment.

...
Original and modded one - with the new front panel.

This was my mod for the 5th anniversary...I hope you like the result Wink

hmm looks great !!!

So this would be possible woth the Voodoo5 5500 PCI's and Voodoo5 5500 AGP x4's also right?

even the 5000 PCI can have a mod for a second VGA ...oei! Grin Grin Grin

But anyways, does it function well also with all outputs, or di you need a special bios for those parts to function?

I suggest you slap on an extra 32MB of RAM and send the darn (Wink) thing to someone who can get it to work. Perhaps Hank or DenisF.
