I just acquired this Voodoo 2 and sorted out a test build to try it out on. Installed the driver fine, switched from OpenGL on my 4200 TI to 3DFX OpenGL on Quake 2 and got the tell tale grey screen on the primary GPU DVI output.

Went to grab my vga cable and vga test screen then found this...

Why does my card have this funky 15 pin and not the standard VGA (like every other Voodoo card I've encountered...)
