I have all three, and PCI, I was wondering if there was any need, or is it even possible? It's a 350MHZ P2 and 256mb paired with it at the moment, just no OS yet.

Might have a hard time with the Voodoo3 and another 2D card, however the Voodoo1 will be fine, just have to dump it's corresponding glide ovl/dll's into your game folder.

Where do I find the glide ovl files?

So what you need to do is install the drivers for the Voodoo1 FIRST, then install the Voodoo3 drivers over the top of them, open the Voodoo1 driver EXE with 7zip and they'll all be there.

I heard I was supposed to not install Voodoo1 drivers at all, just Voodoo 3, and just use the files in game directories.

It shouldn't matter at all really as the only leftover files are your fxmemmap DLL which you can delete after the Voodoo3 install, there MIGHT be a situation where the Voodoo1 takes precedence for D3D, you can solve this by a registry hack. But yeah, I just HATE having unknown devices in my Device Manager, having the driver loaded ensures memory addresses are allocated by Windows to the Voodoo1 which may potentially avoid a conflict, you are right though, it does work without them too.
