Hi there,

Just a question for you who are familiar with drivers and OS X: how hard would it be to develop drivers for something like the Voodoo series of cards for OSX? I don't really know if it would take a team of developers months to develop a new set of drivers, or if it would take only 1 or two developers a month. Anyone have any ideas?

Also, I'm not sure if 3dfx has the specs for their cards posted publicly. If this is the case, I'm not sure there is even a hope of creating these kinds of drivers.

The reason I'm asking is that since 3dfx went out of business, there has been no driver support for their Voodoo series of cards with OS X. What I mean by driver support is 3D stuff like openGL and the likes.
