Go and look at the www.3dfx.com, developer files.
download the old version, of the glide library.

There is one other alternative.
If you look at the Banshee specs, which have been updated to show the Voodoo3

Then just look for PCI programming.

I am planning on making a driver for FreeBE that supports 3dfx cards.
