The AE FastMath co-processor card for the II+, IIe, & IIgs.
It'd probably do more for the IIgs where GSOS can assign those math
tasks to the card. Though I'm not sure how much if any advantage there'd
be in a faster accellerated IIgs. For a IIe or II+, I'd imagine you'd need
to
either preboot a disk or modify your software to support the card.
Given the price I don't think very many of these cards were sold by AE.
