 I am looking for an EMS card compatible with the IBM PC/XT 8-bit bus. It 
should be expandable up to at least 8Mb and preferably more. It should support
LIM EMS 4.0 or at least something like 3.2. Compatibility sith both the XT
8-bit bus AND the AT 16-bit bus would be nice, if I decide to upgrade some day.

I've heard something about an ORCHID board (ORCHID RAMQUEST XT/AT) doing all 
this, but am not sure, which LIM EMS version (if any) it complies with. In 
addition, I don't know, if it really fits the PC/XT bus.

Naturally, I would like to hear about compatibility and/or problems with this 
and other EMS cards.

Thank you very much in advance
