Voodoo Series Windows(r) XP Driver Kit by Magic-Sim (based on W2k Optimized by Omegadrive)
-------------------------------------------

First of all, I wish that this drivers will work since they're
still in beta stage. I did this drivers by working with Microsoft
Windows XP display drivers for voodoo series and Omegadrive's work
on windows 2000 drivers. I adapted his set of drivers for those to be
fully compatible with Windows XP final.

If you have downloaded thes drivers, you must know that they are still
betas, and that you can email me some feedback. Those who mail me will be
rewarded and credited version after version.

They seem t work on my windows XP with my Voodoo5, but I'll do further
testing, and I need you.

To install these drivers, you must delete all 3dfx tools entries from
the registry, delete the files on the hard drive, and then you can
install the tools. Accept all, even when they say it is not certified,
and then reboot. Once you've restarted, run again setup to repair the
install. That should be working.

Thanx for reading,

		Magic-Sim.
