    At one time I had about 40 of them cards, still have about 10 of them. 
They are for the //e, but they may have problem with the newer ROM on the
platinum //e.  More specifically, the //e with the 1 ROM chip.  I haven't
plugged one in for several years, so I don't know for a fact.

   Now, I used to have a card that had different version of the ROMs in it that
were for the PAL //e.  Sorry, but I didn't keep a copy of the ROMs for
posterity.

   The card was not for the ][+, although I did have a ][+ diagnostics card
from Apple that only had 2 chips on it.  Basically all it did was put it in a
RAM loop test.  Sold that card on ebay almost 3 years ago.
