I mailed Dave Siegel on this directly....

First of all, there are a lot of different #9 cards. Which model
are you trying to get working?

Secondly, If you want to redirect the startup information to a file
and mail it to me, I would be happy to make a stab at why it 
doesn't work.  I have been running a #9 928 Level 12 for 6 months
now. They do work, and quite nicely I might add.

Use the following to redirect the startup messages:

startx > x.out 2>&1
