Guess again (actually don't guess unless you know what you are talking about).
This is a PCPI Applicard, a famous card for running CP/M.  It should have a
Z80B processor on it.

Of all the old CP/M cards, this one was probably the fastest.  Not only did
it have a fast Z80B, but it made better use of the 6502 and native Apple
resources.  You will need CP/M specifically for this card for it to work.
