Woohoo, great work, that sounds much cleaner and a real fix not a bandaid.

Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.

Funny thing is that this is even stated in the Voodoo chipset datasheet itself:

The attachment sst1_datasheet_p84.jpg is no longer available

So... the folks at 3dfx didn't read their own datasheet???

Would you consider looking at a different issue with the driver while you are in the code?
A while back Gmlb256 hex-edited Voodoo Graphics GLIDE2X.OVL, replacing the value used to compare the PCI device id from 1 (Voodoo Graphics) to 2 (Voodoo2) in several places when verifying the card. DOS Glide 2.4x Mod for Voodoo2
This enables the voodoo 1 dos driver to be used with voodoo 2, which enables some games e.g. Screamer 2 to work with a voodoo 2. This is the only way I can get Screamer 2 working with voodoo 2 on my setup, although currently I have to swap out the cpu to a slower one (from 900 to 766) to get it to start.
Might it be possible to alter the source so that your modified driver could work with a voodoo 1 or voodoo 2?

I don't have Screamer 2, so I don't know what the exact problem is. Can you fill me in on what's wrong with the 3dfx patch for that game?
