Wrong, the Everex RAM-3000 supports LIM 3.2 in Hardware and now has a driver
to support LIM 4.0 in software. I bought one only to find that it was
incompatible with my AT clone (and at two other clones at the store where I
bought it), but when it did work (it was random errors) Windows/286 was quite
happy with it's LIM 4.0 memory.
Of all the Everex products I have (modem, I/O card, 40Meg tape, RAM-3000) the
RAM-3000 was the only one I have EVER had any trouble with.
