Steve,

If you look at the ad he scanned this Track Star has absolutely nothing to
do with the Apple II board for IBM PCs. This was a device that some how,
can't really tell from the ad, hooked up to the Apple II Disk Drive and
displayed what track on the disk the drive head was on.

Precisely.  Thus the term "overloaded".
