On this same subject, I finally put the card up for future study. 
Hopefully, I'll come across DOS 3.2 at Goodwill so I can give the card a 
try.  It does sound like it's one of those (13/16 sector) cards, though. 
 When did these sell?  Before the IIe, during the II Plus era, or after 
the IIe came out, for backward-compatibility purposes?
