Help needed to identify "Applicard"



I've just come across an old Apple // card which I am having trouble 
identifying and using. Does anyone recognise this?

The card is marked "Appli-card" and was made by Personal Computer Products Inc.
It is a very long card which will not fit properly into the GS.

On the card there is:
an empty 28 pin socket
a 28 pin socket which holds a 24 pin ROM marked 
	"Bootstrap V9.0 (C) 1982" sitting in pins 3-14 and 17-28.
a z80b CPU
8 x MCM6665AP15 FQD8401 8pin chips (a RAM bank?)
a group of 25 jumper pins of which only number 13 is connected.
a group of 5 jumper pins of which none are connected.

When placed in slot 6 in my GS ($c600) and slot 2 in my //e ($c200), the slot 
	space is full of $C5's. Read: no firmware?

I was led to believe that it is an Eprom programmer. Someone else said it 
was a cp/m card.

If it is an eprom programmer, does anyone have any documentation or software 
for this card? I'd like to use it.

Please email replies. My newsfeed is unreliable. 
I will collate and repost if necessary.

Thanks for your help
