I highly doubt the NV30 will support a dead API. Glide support is virtually non-existant nowadays, there would be no point in bringing it back. Also, Glide ran so well because it was on 3Dfx hardware, it wouldn't run nearly as well on Nvidia cards. The industry is currently pushing for programmable shader technology such as DirectX 9 and OpenGL 2.0. Glide has no place in this world anymore.
