MacOS definitely sees it.
So does NetBSD, sort of -- Here's the memory line from /usr/bin/top:
Memory: 10M Act, 4016K Wired, 70M Free, 192M Swp free
and some vmstat output:
procs memory page disks faults cpu
r b w avm fre flt re pi po fr sr f0 s0 s1 m0 in sy cs us sy id

0 0 0 11044 71332 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 194 11 3 1 0 99
NetBSD does appear to use all 96MB; it just reports it wrong at boot time.
