try here (http://falconfly.de/vsa100.htm). At the top of the page are the last original 3dfx drivers, which may work, or way down at the bottom there are some third party drivers, which are even more likely to work, although I can't guarantee anything, because I don't use macs.

EDIT: I hope you are referring to a MAC Voodoo 5, or a VoodooMAC 5 (name was different on some). With a PC-based card, this is nearly impossible without some knowledge of sodiering, resistors, etc, and a BIOS change for the card.

I think there isn`t any version of drivers fo MacOS X. And also I think that drivers for ver <10 MacOS shouldn`t work because MacOS X is completely different that previous ver.[V]

I bought VoodooMAC 5 from guy that have MacOS and he couldn`t run his V5 MAC [:(]

I have heard of people using some sort of driver, although I'm not sure which one, to get the voodoo 5 to work up to OS10.2, which is X, I believe. I personally don't much like macs....

@vykupitel
unluckily, you can only try the drivers (official or no-official)

I wasn't sure if 10 was X, I was trying to make the point that if I was mistaken, it's 'cause I don't know much about them, 'cause I don't use/like 'em.....but really, it can't hurt much to give the drivers a shot.
