Who knows.  Could be that the IIgs was not even out yet when the Z80 card was
developed?  :)

I seem to think the AE card does work though, I may be wrong...


The AE card is more likely to work, because it was more of a computer
of its own, and was less tightly integrated with the Apple II.

I think you may be confusing it with the Applicard/Starcard. The AE Z80+ board was almost exact knockoff of the Microsoft Softcard.
