+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?

I just ordered an EMS board, after looking around... What I found included:

Boca RAM board:  _not_ LIM 4.0 (LIM 2.x?), and apparently not upgradeable.
	Used boards available.
FASTCard ($99 0K): LIM 3.x,  they expect to offer a driver upgrade "soon".
PC Technologies ($150 0K):  LIM 4.0 (also compatible with my 8MHz bus)

So it sounds like some boards can be upgraded, but not all of them.
I'm waiting for the PCTech board to arrive.  If anyone wants more info
about it when I get it, I'll be happy to e-mail (unless the demand is
overwhelming).
