Hey guys, quick and silly question: does the Voodoo 1/2 needs to be connected to a 2D graphics card to be detected by Windows? A local forum member gave me for free another Voodoo 2 in nearly mint condition. No rough handling issues. I don't have right now the cables to try them because I borrowed them to a friend.

Windows should detect the Voodoo 2 right away and ask for drivers; no need to plug in the passthrough cable for that.

Ooohh, the pain......

It'd still need drivers though. Win98's (both of them) driver bundle dates to Nov 97 IIRC, predating the V2 by quite a few months.

I don't care about drivers as they are available on the web. I think I have another dead voodoo ii... I'll try it on my main pc to see what happens.
