Hi everybody. Lately I got a pair of Voodoo 2's for SLI. The cards both work individually, but when I chain them together they do this:

In case that uploaded image ever goes away for posterity, it is apparent that the two cards are trying to interlace even and odd pairs of lines into a cohesive image. However, one set of lines is oriented properly, while the other set of lines is flipped, as though rotated 180 degrees. This makes the image look like that scene in Argo where the Iranians are rebuilding shredded documents from the American embassy, but imagine that they alligned the strips of the shredded document incorrectly. That's basically what I'm getting on my monitor in SLI.
The system hangs when I do this, by the way. It just stops responding to my inputs and I have to hard power cycle it to make the PC snap out out of it.
Both cards are STB Black Magic Voodoo 2's, 12 MB version. I've tried these remedial actions but none of them have worked:
- different drivers (FastVoodoo2 4.6 and Voodoo2 Driver kit Version: 3.02.0)
- moving the cards around various PCI slots
My SLI and passthrough cables look like this:


I have ordered another SLI cable in case that's the culprit. But that hasn't arrived in the mail yet, and the problem could lie elsewhere. I'm also hoping this particular error is recognizable to at least one of you. Thanks in advance for your input.
