It definitely works in an enhanced IIe.  I'm not sure if it will work in
an unenhanced IIe, let alone a ][+ or ][.

It requires ProDOS 1.5 (ish) or later, and i'm not sure whether anything
that recent works on a ][ (the ][+ is supported up to 1.9).

Age-wise, the card was released around 1985, in the same sort of era as
the original Apple SCSI card (1986).  The latter works on a ][+, so the
workstation card probably does too.

My recollection is that most of the software (LOGIN, LOGOFF, NAMER.II,
CHOOSER.II) runs in 40-column mode.  If any of it needs 80 columns, that
would probably rule out the ][+.
