i didn't think you could do a 9 layer board - it would have to be either
8 or 10. anyway, how about a dual-stripline approach, where you would
sandwich 2 signal layers in between power/gnd planes? (this seems to
keep the crosstalk level down and also might give you 1 or 2 more signal
layers :
1---top
2---gnd
3---sig
4---sig
5---+5V
6---sig
7---sig
8---gnd
9---+3v
10-bottom
