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
