Since you asked I like to ask this : Is there something special about a
EMS 4.0 memory board (e.g. is it different from a EMS 3.0 board ?).
Also: can there be some kind of EMS 4.0 driver which can address a 3.0 board?

Note: I have the EMS 4.0 driver specs somewhere but I haven't had the time to
try to figure out whether the board should be different from 4.0. It makes
sence if you would only need a new driver for your EMS 3.0 board to run
(maybe a somewhat limitid version of) EMS 4.0.

I hope that somebody can explain about the (hardware) difference between 3.0
and 4.0 (if there is one)
