Well, sort of. Windows uses it to copy inactive tasks to instead of a ramdisk. But the board does NOT support the type of context switching that Windows (and DesqView) would like to have. Sure, DesqView can dump inactive tasks to it as well, but that is a lot more overhead than merely switching page registers as on a REAL EMS 4.0 board.
