John Graham covered it pretty well.
The only thing I'd add is it isn't very suitable to telelcommunications, but
then so what? You have the Apple it's in for that.

Plus, you can use it as a RAM disk, and use the Apple's memory as a virtual
HD from MS-DOS.

$80 is a good price.

(But I think it'd be better described as a seconday processor or maybe
transputer board. An emulator is usually a software look alike, no?)

I think it's pretty much the neatest thing since Mr. Dunkin invented the
donut.
