I have a Canopus Pure 3D Voodoo1 card I got with some other stuff from a guy moving...I created a cable for it from a vga cable and a mini din 9 adapter. I soldered all the pins based on a pin out I found on the web and made the cable. My soldering isn't the best, but I know all the wires were soldered to the proper pins before I put the cable together with the metal cover and then plastic cover. I have never used the card before so I don't know if it's good or not but when I plugged it in and used the adapter, the PC shows no video. Before I go get another minidin adapter and cut another vga cable up to try another adapter (the one that is made I can't really fix as there is multiple heat shrink and the pins have solder on them which would be a nightmare to clean and take apart) or hunt all over for the right cable, I wanted to know if there is anyway to verify the card is working at all?
If the cards bad no point in hunting down a cable!
