Hello,

> how much did it run you?  i've found a $7 voodoo3 (3000, 16m) that would meet
> my needs, but it's for a PC.  can i flash that to Mac and use it under netbsd?
Yes, see http://www.mac3dfx.com for MacOS drivers, flashers and ROM images ( if they pulled them I could mail you what you need to make the PCish Voodoo3 work in a Mac ). That's what I did to mine :)
It works fine as OF console, has hardware OpenGL under MacOS but XFree needs my hack.

have fun
Michael
