Note that the note does not say explicitly that screen 9 was/is exclusive to v9948. Though, the way it is written in that note indeed seems to imply that exclusive relation. But the last real paragraph of the original article also clearly states that screen 9 is most likely one of the normal graphical MSX 2 screens, addressed as if it is a text screen, just like the kanji screens on MSX 2+ and MSX turbo R models. Nevertheless, I would love to get my hands on an electronic or paper copy of the v9948 databook.
