Colorgraphic MEGA Lightning, Pro Lightning V+, and Pro Lightning 868 have 3.1 drivers. At least according to Colorgraphic's old sites.

I've had to mess with the driver INF to get some cards to work properly. If the INF has the right PCI vendor/device IDs in a device identifier (in the form of PCI\VEN_####&DEV_####, replace #s with IDs) try erasing the &SUBSYS_######## from the end of the identifier and see if the driver will …

ELSA Erazor X² arrived safely. Supposed to have 2D issues, ghosting in higher Windows resolutions. Possibly an easy fix of a single discrete component, if one can find it. I've had a GF256 that has the output ghosting problem, and I've talked with several others who have the same issue with theirs. …

I wouldn't try to run a split voltage CPU like a PMMX in this board, looks like a single voltage setup. Should probably stick to non-MMX Pentiums from 90-200MHz (or Winchips) unless you have an MMX Overdrive handy.

Re: Voodoo Banshee compatible memory chips

From looking at pictures of a bunch of graphics cards, the main ones I came up with are SGRAM versions of Matrox Productiva G100 and Millennium G200. The G100 has 2 memory chips, the G200 has 4 memory chips (and they look to usually be the next speed grade up from the original Banshee's parts)

What are the part numbers of the memory chips on your Banshee and on the potential donor boards? Same package is a good start but there are some other important parameters that need to be matched up as well

An archive of the product page from QDI's website (https://web.archive.org/web/19991012061509/ww … 30tx1b_plus.htm) shows as a 'feature': "Support Power LED dimmed when Soft-off" so I think this is normal behavior and I don't see anything in the manual about changing it.
