yup. you can get a 1.5' vga extender on amazon for $5.These would be easy to replicate. They are nothing but a short VGA male to VGA female cable extender.
Other than being really short, there's nothing special about them. You can interchange the ones that came with the Voodoo 2 with the Voodoo 1. They are basically a VGA cable extender, only chopped down to minimize the noise in the signal.
20 bucks seems like a lot for a short cable, but given VGA is a dead format, it's not an outrageous amount.
I recall putting ferrite cores around mine back in the day. The passthrough signal was so bad though. You're better off with a KVM switch these days.
If you don't want to deal with the poor passthrough signal, you can always just use a second monitor for the V1/V2 card. Then it will just activate that monitor when the 3dfx card is in use.
A digital KVM would work as well... but the signal still might not be as good as just hooking straight up to a monitor.
