Has anyone managed to make statically linked glide games run with SLI enabled?

I have a strong deja-vu feeling I already asked this about six years ago but... still curious whether cards with hardwired SLI (such as the Obsidian 200 series) will ever be able to run these games.

A word of advice for those who are trying to run 3dfx D2 on faster systems. After spending a lot of time this weekend getting Descent 2 working in DOS on Apollo Pro 133T Tualatin 1.4 system with Voodoo 2 - Dynamically linked (separate overlay file) does not like fast systems. Card initializes but displays random pattern and freezes. After disabling level 1 CPU cache D2 runs just fine. However it's too slow at 386DX performance level with disabled l1 cache. Clearly Tualatins are not good platform to enjoy D2 with 3dfx. Of course SVGA software renderer on P3 system flies.
And 2nd unofficial patch on Apollo Pro 133T did not work at all at any system speed.

It will run on the card, but you have to set SLI to 0 with the environment variable.

No, it doesn't. I have a 200SBi and this command won't disable SLI.
