New VGA connector being assembled with pass-thorugh, the connectors and backplate were robbed from a dead STB Voodoo II. I have everything pinned out and should have it tested in an hour or two.

No Medusa cable required, just a plain old Voodoo I/II cable Grin

It did and they were removed a year or two ago.

The Frame buffer only supports 4 MB (see spec sheet) but the TMU's support 8 each... so I do have a VII with 20 MB of ram upstairs but it had rendering errors and the ram size was mis-reported in Windows.

I think some strapping options have to be set but do not have that information.
