[W] 3dfx cards on PCI, SLi cable

Hello people,
Seems it took me a couple of months to find the most comprehensive forum for VooDoo enthusiasts. Now that I've found falconfly, maybe I'll get the chance to acquire a couple of 3dfx pieces for my freshly born collection.

I've been busy finding video cards for my '98 rig and until now, the most powerfull is a V4 4500. But with a mobo supporting only PCI versions, I have to settle for the moment with a V3-2000.

The point:
- who has original V2 SLi cables for sale ?
I have about 4 VooDoo 2's and no SLi cable. I've asked even m14radu (being the closest) for help but he seems to be out of these pieces for quite a while.
Gary Donovan was kind enough to explain me how V2 SLi works and what I need in a mail, but I can't find a trustworthy electrical blueprint for the making of the cable from a normal floppy ribbon.

- I'd like a more powerfull card on my '98 rig, but it has to be PCI. Does anyone have for sale the PCI versions of either a 3500, 4500 or 5500 ?

This is all for now.
I'll keep searching the enormous ammount of announcements on the marketplace, maby I'll find what I'm looking for already posted.

Cheers.

Quite comprehensive indeed.
It doesn't look complicated.
Thanks man. I'll get to work as soon as I can (hopefully this week).

SomehowI forgot to mention, I managed to make the cable from a standard floppy controller.
The SLi worked fine.

Thanx again for the support.
