I do. A very specific problem with the PCI version of the above card.
I've got permanent blank screen on 800x600x16bit regardless of the OS.

Admitedly, mine has 60ns Hyundai DRAM for the first megabyte and 70ns NEC 
on the expansion sockets.

If you are referring to the version number printed on the EPROM BIOS 
label, mine is version 2.09.

I'll keep that in mind.

Mine didn't come with Win95/NT driver disk.
