SLi in a single PCI slot and 24mb of memory. Does it work just like having two cards or does it have problems scaling?

I think these were used in arcade machines. It does work like you have two card, but I don't think there is a VGA passthrough.

Does a list exist of which arcade machines used these?
I had 3 of them, but only one now.
It was selling for about $700.
Works the same like if you have regular SLI Voodoo2 combo. The pass-through cable has 26-pin connector, so if you don't have one the only solution would be the TV out. I also have a home-made 26-pin to 15-pin cable adapter, but every time you want to play you need to unplug the monitor or just plug second monitor.

Check out http://www.system16.com . Midway used 3DFX hardware for a few well known games like SF Rush and Hydro Thunder.
There's a restaurant near here that has a SF Rush 2049 cabinet yet. That one has Voodoo3 inside. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. 😁

These were actually released to the general public? I'll have to keep searching. Somebody out there somewhere has to have one. I don't mind setting up a second monitor for it since it has no VGA passthrough like the regular cards do.
why mess with it? unless you don't have a 2nd available PCI slot...

Having an extra PCI slot is never a bad thing.
Unfortunately, it looks like they are going to be way more than I was willing to pay. I found one for a little over $400 but the seller was having a sale for Christmas. It goes back up to $600 when the sale ends. I already have a pair of Black Magics so I guess I'll have to make do with one less PCI slot.
The Quantum3D Obsidian X24 was popular for a short while before Voodoo3. It was an expensive way to save yourself a PCI slot and improve analog signal quality.
The Quantum3D Obsidian 100SB is a similar single slot product using the Voodoo Graphics chipset.
Have one too, but got it without cable. So i sended it to some person to make it for me. He told me, that mine card was working, but it wont work on mine test MB with viaKT133a and have no time to instal win on mine dual P3 mb. So i have to believe him....
Not only mine graphics cards collection at http://www.vgamuseum.info
Yeah, I have one somewhere, the retail for-PC version with two VGA ports (input/output,) rather than needing a funky cable.
