I am trying to expand the memory on an 80286 system.  I have my
hands on JDR microdevices' MCT-AEMS card with 1 meg, which conforms
to LIM EMS 3.2.

With a little more money and a lot more hassle, I can get the
MCT-EEMS card (same vendor) which uses 256x4 DRAMS and conforms to
LIM 4.0.

I want to run programs designed to access extended/expanded memory,
like Paradox3, Reflex2, 123 3.0, etc.

Will I run into problems with the cheaper/easier solution; do I need
the LIM 4.0 board?  And for my edification, what's the diff. between
these two standards?
