Title: Skywell Technology Magic 3D with 2 TMU's?

So there's this Skywell Technology Magic 3D Plus 8MB and it has these unused connections around (left & below) the TMU.

So, am I crazy or was Skywell planning on a 2 TMU Voodoo Graphics?

They might have had plans or the board they sold was just a fast copy of the 3dfx design so they could get to market in a hurry.
