Can someone please post an actual "running" 3dfx config for the Mac,
other than the Power3D card.  Please specify which PCI card you are
using, and what drivers you had to install to get the Mac to recognize
it.  Also, if you can include the price you paid for the board I'd
appreciate it.  I had heard of people using an ATI driver to allow the
Mac to recognize the 3dfx board.  Currently I've got a PowerCenterPro
210 with the ATI RageII chipset (so I don't need a 3dfx to run QD3D).

If someone has this working I'd like to know so I don't have to pay
Techworks for games I already own.  If I can't find a board for less
than $129 that works, I'll probably go with Techworks for the support.
