I'm using windows98 with dx6.1 with a 3dfx voodoo2 2000 PCI. When I EnumDevices or FindDevices, both calls reply that ther is no
hardware devices present. Yet, the DX diagnostics and info viewer as well as windows "settings" tell me my card is there.

WHAT'S THE DEAL????

Also, When I try to igonre this by using IID_IDirect3DHALDevice to create my device interface, my programs justs hangs when it attempts to Clear2 the viewport.

The Diagnostics say my 3dfx driver is not
certified, does that mean anything??

There's a flag somewhere in the enumeration thingie that lets you specify what kind of hardware you're looking for. Make sure you add the flag for non-primary display(e.g. 3D only voodoos) devices. I don't recall what it is off the top of my head.
