Well, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck and has a label on it
that says "duck" then it's a pretty good bet it's a duck.  :-)  Chances
are this is a parallel interface card, which will let you use any of the
old dot-matrix printers that used to be so common in the original Apple
IIe days, and (with some drivers) perhaps even some newer PC-compatible
parallel printers.
