 Curious if you can modify old S9 and T9 bitcoin miners to mine Zcash for equihash algorithm,
heard somewhere this can be done but have no clue about this, but would love to try with some S9/T9 miners
we have sitting around.

Cause is not before and effect is not after

S9 Antminers are Bitcoin miners its not possible to mod them to start mining the Ethash algorithm, where did you get this fake information from? If you still have the link kindly share us and let's read, this will never happen, do not hesitate to proof me wrong.

This isn't possible. The chips are hardwired to do SHA-256. You can't mine any other algorithm even if you rewrite the firmware from scratch.
