Thanks Zylesea,
Andreas has always told me you were one of the more knowledgable people on the forum.

If a 9700 driver is created then 9500Pro cards will work too (not standard 9500s just the Pros) as the 9500Pro only has a reduced memory bus (128bit). Under Windows, both cards are recognized as 9700s.
And since the 9800 is just a slight enhancement of the 9700, perhaps we'll see that as well.
