There is, to my knowledge, no 3d hardware supporting API for DJGPP.

However, if you are willing to swap GCC's, you can happily and easily use
Glide and OpenGL with EGCS-MinGW32, gaining full 3dfx or 'misc' hardware
acceleration. There is also a DirectX 5 port which fully includes Sound,
Input, Play and Draw C interfaces, but Draw3d isn't fully supported.

Alternatively, you could use MESA for DJGPP to program for OpenGL without
hardware acceleration, and send the code to someone who can straight compile
it under an OpenGL implementation which does support hardware.
