just for the records or if anyone has a similar problem:

i sent the card to sc. apart from the capacitor the "FPGA"(has something to do with the boards communication) was damaged.

which version of os9 do you have installed? it has to be a real (not classic mode) os9 (max 9.2.2). check this. http://www.planetz.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=21566

but after some fiddeling around it all turned out as a dream.
