Yeah... how much do we actually know about these cards? The 3700 revision, to be accurate - what chips do they use, what's the layout, et c?
If anyone knows where to find documentation, then that would be super-lovely - and if anyone actually HAS one of these 6000 A.3700 boards, and is willing to take the highest possible resolution photo's, then that would be incredible! = )
My interest in this, came from a recent insane idea... learning hardware design, in order to create a VooDoo 5 6000+ compatible graphics card - with modern technology, we might even be able to improve upon the design.
(increase memory, clock-speed, decrease energy-consumption, et c - not needing a separate power-brick to run the card would be amazing)
EDIT:
AH-HAH! A quick google found a first page, with some basic documentation.

EDIT2:
Ok, anybody know where to get a hold of FalconFly? The directory is quite old - 2005 - anybody know if he has an account on here, for instance?
Also, it seems like there is a fellow called "Gold Leader" whom has some heavy-duty connections to the old 3dFX crew - might it be possible to get a hold of him, and have him see if he can dig up the necessary documentation?
