All 9s starting in 1997, until today, have had the same cable pull.
I'm thinking you are thinking about DA8s, which was unique in the
shimano lineup.

You're absolutely right on all counts, and I realized it as soon as I
posted it, but thought the point too tangential to the OP to post a
correction, since we probably weren't going to involve any DA parts in the

Thanks for keeping us honest!
