Hello,
I have a chance to get a Voodoo 3 3500 TV AGP for very little money, but without any cables.
This card has a special VGA+video connector, and it originally came with a big fat blue "breakout" cable.
Could I use some other converter cable for this card to enable attachment to a standard VGA monitor? Maybe some cable from Matrox G550 or their QID cards?
If I must have the original breakout cable, than this card is useless without it.

Use a DVI-I to D-Sub converter ;)
I dont think that will work..the card is useless without the pod,unfortunately.
oh really? that's weird. In which case I'd keep an eye on eBay. I've seen them popping up on there inconveniently quite frequently. That blue pod must strike gold [:p]
Thank you for the replies.
A standard DVI->DSUB converter can not be used. Although the connector on the card looks like DVI, it is a bit longer. F**k.
Those blue pods do appear on Ebay from time to time, but they usually cost as much as a whole high-end Pentium 3 PC with a Voodoo 3 in it :D
I'll hunt for a complete Voodoo 3 3500TV set.

I see, it looks more like an "HDMI" of the past. Quite advanced for its time must I add.

Just keep an eye on auctions NOT "buy it now's". There was a complete set that nobody cared to bid on about a week ago. Maybe I should have got it.. and then sell it to you :D
