Hello all,
The other day I picked up a Diamond Monster 3DII Voodoo2 card from a local shop, I connect it via the short VGA pass through cable that I ordered from eBay, to my Diamond Viper 550 2D card.

When I turn the system on (Win98SE, Abit BH-6, PIII-800E) I get video signal and everything seem to be fine, but when I run a 3D games (Quake, Quake II) and choose the 3Dfx drivers, all I get is a gray screen.
The only way to exit is Alt-Tab, and even then the resolution is messed up, so I have to reset the whole system.
If memory serves me right, back in the day, when I had Righteous 3D cards, they would make a very satisfying *click* when they switched to 3D mode, this one does not do it.
For the drivers, I have downloaded both the official Diamond Monster 3DII driver CD, and the last official 3Dfx reference drivers from Vogons, but I get the same result.
Any help is appreciated!
