Not a new
Driver or a Tech Document, but simply outstanding :
The DivX Fan
Video is a unique tribute to 3dfx!
Those 16MB are among the most worthy downloads I can possibly
offer to die-hard 3dfx fans!
Many thanks go to the italian 3dfx Site http://www.3dfxzone.it for their hosting
permission :)

Not many files
found to further expand this archive.
But the one I got is something special : AmigaMerlin released a WinXP Driver
that sounds very promising...
If you happen
to run WinXP, check it out !
Anyway,
I must admit, I didn't have much time for this site lately...
Call me lazy, but work sure took its toll.
But : Now there are all these holidays coming up, I'll use them
to continue the work that this site needs.

Well, as
promised, the major Update is here :)
This mainly refers to the 3dfx Archive, which has gotten very large and making things a
little hard to find.
Most of the visitors head straight for this unique Archive.
All Downloads are now sorted by Video Card, offering all there is
available, at a single glance.
Things still
missing are the Bios-Files, Linux Drivers and some more of the
old stuff to make this archive a complete one...
Besides, there is this News Section, of course, for those that are interested.

Many many
thanks to Tony, who pointed me to a service in the Internet I've
never heard about so far :
http://www.archive.org
This
site allows you to browse the Internet as it used to be a long
time ago.
While they possbily can't hold the entire web, they DO have www.3dfx.com and www.3dfxgamers.com as they used to peacefully exist in the
past !
And best of all : On what's got to be over a hundred
"snapshots of time", many Links seem to work, allowing access to files
long thought lost !
I'll spend the
next days looking for all the good, old stuff, like initial
Driver Releases and Beta's for all Voodoo's upto Voodoo5.
(do YOU have the initial Voodoo5 win9x 1.00.01 Driver? I
saw it today, ready for download just like it was more than a
year ago :)...
Who knows what it's good for, I'm gonna get 'em all ;)
I just hope my
Servers don't blow under the load of files to come soon.
If you happen
to have the old 3dfx Developer's Section Password, might even
give you access to stuff that used to be available
there...
My best
advice : if you're a 3dfx fanatic like me, go there now and
download all you can while it's still there...
This is almost too cool to be true, so don't wait for my poor
ISDN line to complete this insane downloading frenzy!
Once all that is up and running, this page will easily well
exceed 100k alone, virtually begging for the long planned
restructuring ;)

Doh! As I'm
typing this, the primary Server is offline once again :(
I don't know
what the heck they're doing right now, but the host is certainly
not doing it right...
Just remember
the always full-up mirror www.planetfalconfly.de , that so far works in a
flawless manner.
Lucky me to have many files transferred to this location already.
Good instinct I guess.
Anyway,
would be great to get more Feedback , not much to read so far.
Might be too many Users (in know the majority is) using the
crippled, incompatible IE V6.0 on WindowsXP...
Might be, everyone is in a hurry, or hasn't discovered the rest
of this cozy Site...

All is running
well as it seems, although hardly anybody leaves Feedback behind.
With more Server capacity available than ever, I can now
concentrate on more important things...
The ultimate goal is nothing less but to create the largest 3dfx
File concentration the Web has to offer !
Future
outlook :
-
Collect and achive more Files (Mac and Linux Drivers, but also
Documentation and Bios Files)
- Restructure the Archive for ease of Navigation, sorted both by
Operating System and Card Type
- Possibly enable visible Download Counters and create a basic
User Rating System for all Files
- Activate full secondary Navigation Mirror (www.planetfalconfly.de) in case this Server is
temporary down
- Maybe create a dedicated News Section, although I think almost
nobody would ever read it ;)
If
you posess Files that you think should be listed here, please contact
me !
Of course, this includes Drivers you have modified yourself, but
have no Webspace available...
I'll be more than happy to host your File(s) anytime...
As
always, if there's a broken Link or Download, any of the involved
Servers goes belly up or if I have made any error :
Let me know so I can quickly fix it, whatever it is.
