It was. I have the AE and Checkmate versions (very similar)... but they don't
use a slot; they are processor socket cards. You pop out the 65c02, and insert
the card, which has an '816 on it. It also had a cable on it, to connect to a
RAMWorks card, or RAMFactor, so it could address that RAM directly.

There are pics of both over at apple2.org
