This weekend's activities were fairly productive:

- Getting the system to sync with my Psion 3a under Win 3.11 and 95
- Installing and playing quite a bit of Carmageddon and Interstate 76. Always wanted to play I76 back in the day, but lacked a 3DFX card to make it run nicely. It's quite playable on this system.
- Installed Windows NT4 on a separate CF card. Sound, network and Matrox drivers working nicely, alongside SP6a. Anyone know if OpenGL drivers for the 3DFX card are available for NT?

My Retro systems:
1. Pentium 200, 64mb EDO RAM, Matrox Millennium 2mb, 3DFX Voodoo 4mb, DOS6.22 / Win95 / Win98SE
2. Compaq Armada M700 laptop, PIII-450, Win98SE
3. Core2Duo E6600, ATI Radeon 4850, Win XP

I like how this system is using things we usually skip over like non MMX CPU or Voodoo 1

I've never used it but apparently 3dfx released reference drivers

Thanks @chinny22 - I'll have to give those drivers a try

Long overdue "comfort upgrade" (desk and chair) has now been installed!

Have been enjoying smashing my way through Interstate 76 since my last update. Does lag a bit when there are lots of baddies on screen, P200 classic upgrade is getting tempting.
