3dfx Voodoo3 SLI pinout?

I'm working on a new build and had the thought of running the VGA output of the Voodoo3 through an HDMI adapter. I was wondering if the pinout for the SLI header is known and if it has a video signal that can be tapped into without having SLI enabled. Looking at the pinout of the main die itself I don't see anything that stands out that's SLI specific, so is 3dfx literally just syncing the verticals and "muxing" the horizontal line draws?

Voodoo 3 has no sli header, that is a vesa feature connector. Google the pinout.

Got it, so it's used more for overlaying graphics, e.g. a TV tuner overlaying MPEG2 frames.

Yes.
