Not sure about the drivers, I try to stay current, however since I have
started modeling parts in my spare time, I have not played many games to worry
about keeping them up. ;-)
I also have another computer here with Win98se and a Voodoo1 card. I will test
it on there when you think it is more suited.

Leave it to me to do a no-no... :-) I had alot of trouble calulating the Y
coordinates on that part. I have been working on a spreadsheet that will
hopefully help me with that. I think I have the spreadsheet about done.

I'm not sure what you mean here.
There are a couple of triangles on the bottom outer surface near the 2x2 brick
hole that need to have thier y axis' adjusted. They stand out like a sore
thumb. :-) Hopefully I can get those fixes made before the update is prepared
for release.
