I have one (purchased a year ago), and it is not exactly LIM4.0.  
The hardware is LIM 3.2, but it does come with LIM 4.0 drivers. 
This means it only supports the standard 4 page registers of the 3.2
spec, and cannot backfill into the lower 640.  My AT clone runs at 10Mhz,
which means that I need to use 120ns DRAMS, and the RAM3000 board must be
set for one extra wait state.  Even then, the 16-bit mode does not work
with LIM, and must therefore be disabled for LIM.  16-bit accesses work
just fine with extended memory on the same card (at the same time).
