So a miscommunication led to me acquiring a Voodoo Banshee for free. What should I do with it?

The Banshee is not a bad card. It is essentially a voodoo2 missing a texturing unit. And, it does not take advantage of the AGP bus. But, it holds its own and still does a fairly decent job with Glide games. And, the 2D portion of the card used for other normal computer things is actually quite good. It is by default compatible with BeOS which is why its used in my machine (dual booting BeOS and Windows 98)

I still have some games I play on it and I still like to mess around with media on it. Soundplay is still the only MP3 player that I know of that allows you to adjust the speed of a song while playing and even reverse it. You can listen to those Pink Floyd hidden messages without spinning the vinyl backward...lol. It was a pretty powerful OS for its time.

After some alcohol and a good shower my Mac Classic II is back in business... apart from the hard drive and the floppy eject motor and seemingly the speaker. This might take some work, yeah.
