you need a SLI cable.if you dont have it,you can make one from a floppy cable.everything about Voodoo2 SLI (http://helppage.3dfx.sk/#SLI),plus detailed instructions of how to make a SLI cable (http://forum.3dfx.cz/viewtopic.php?p=7349#7349)..

to enable mismatched support,you need to add a value to your registry.find your voodoo2 setting in your registry (should be here (http://www.3dfx.cz/voodoo2/v2_reg.png)),create a new string named SSTV2_MISMATCHED_SLI with value of 1..

IMPORTANT NOTE: make sure both of your voodoo2 cards work fine in your pc if you run them in single mode (only one card in the pc)!

I should have the detailed pictures on one of my harddrives.too bad there is so many of them..I'll check tomorrow.

btw,the process of making a working sli cable is more difficult than it looks,I needed 3 attempts to make one that actually worked..
