When was mtb 9-speed introduced?

Hi retrofolk

Just a curiosity, I was wondering when it came out. Having got some M750/1 parts recently

Thanks

Re:

according to the Mombat time-line, Shimano introduced its first 9 spd system in 1999.

M952 IIRC

As M950/1 was 8 speed.

1999

M952 & M750 and the Mega-9 fanfare debuted with the Model year 1999 products, so you'll have seen it late 1998
