I really doubt it.  I remember hearing about these cards a coupla
times here.  I dug up this article from Dejanews:

They appear to be not common at all.  One person wrote me about a 6809
card
they have, but it appears to be for some graphics purpose and not able
to run 
OS9.

It _is_ very interesting running OS9 on an Apple.  I hate to say it,
however, if
really want to run OS9 your best bet is a Radio Shack Color Computer.
They are
real cheap and run OS9.
