Hello everyone,
A while ago, I happened upon a listing for this strange Voodoo 2. It was designed for Macs, which makes sense given the DB15 connector for video output. At first, I was a bit put off by this strangeness and the lack of a bracket for said card that I just about moved on, but I ended up with it for a pretty fair price and lo-and-behold it works fine in PCs too (as expected, given that Voodoo 2s lack BIOSes). With a DB15 to VGA adapter, it works as any other Voodoo.
The thing is, this card is a bit troubling in that it, as aforementioned, lacks a bracket. The bulky DB15 to VGA adapter holds it in place amongst the other rear I/O fine, but I’d much rather use something realistic (and admittedly less janky/hazardous). I’m wondering if maybe 3D printing is the answer? I don’t have a 3D printer, but I have used Shapeways to success before for odd-sized brackets.
I’ve considered purchasing something like a dual-output Mac model Mach64 with DB15 and VGA and swapping the bracket but the dang ports are reversed on those! In fact, just about every card designed with both outputs as such is the reverse of the Game Wizard.
So, I guess the root of it all is this: Does anyone have any ideas about what to do for a bracket for this card?
Thank you all!
