	This is an Apple II ProFile hardrive controller card. You have the
latest ROM update, which will allow the ProFile to run GS/OS if installed
on an Apple IIgs system.

	I'm not positive, but this sounds like a card that plugs in to the
auxilary slot of an Apple IIe. It probably has the same functions as an
extended 80-columns card plus allows you to connect a digital RGB monitor.

	It is indeed a hardrive controller, but definately not SCSI, or
even SASI for that matter! It will only allow your Apple II to "talk" to
the Apple ProFile HD. Not a very attractive option, these had a very 
limited storage capacity (5-10MB) and horribly slow.
