Woohoo!
Got 2 STB Blackmagic 12mb and the SLI cable on the way. No factory passthroughs but I have plenty of those already.
Was only $40!
No too bad mate! I got mine 2 years ago for 30 euro. Do they come with box and manual?
Welcome to the club! 😁
I have a pair of Diamond Monster IIs 12mb, pair of Diamond Monster IIs 8mb and a pair of Trust Dragon 2s 12mb. That and some other random V2 boards that aren't married.
Dont forget it you have IRQ issues and need to put a PCI slot or two in between your Voodoo2s, you can make a SLI cable of your desired length with a regular old floppy cable. I had to do that once when I had to place a PowerVR card in between them due to IRQ conflicts that I couldn't resolve via the BIOS.
😜 Oops almost forgot I have a pair of sealed 3dfx V2 1000 PCI. NFRB! NFRB!!
I recently just sold a pair of STB Blackmagic II boards for £25 with VGA pass-through and SLI cables.
I'm happy enough just using my V5 5500 in my retro rig 😀
Where do you get a pass through anyway?
I need one and ebay only has cables 6+ feet in length.
Passthroughs are very easy to find. Just go to your local PC shop and ask for a monitor vga cable extender, make sure it's Male and Female and you're set! It only costs about 5 euro.
i found on mine on ebay,just asked a big seller with lots of feedback what the shotest cable he could get was. Ended up being like 0.2m which was enough 😀

Yeah, the only trouble is the cables you get are usually 6 feet long. Very messy for connecting video cards only a few inches apart.
