    Is it a slot card or a daughterboard with pins? Videx produced an 
80 columns text display card (the former), and a product called the 
"Keyboard Enhancer" which I seem to remember had you remove 
the II Plus video ROM to display lowercase. I installed one in my 
Apple II Plus back in the early 90's.

    Looking at the product code, I would say the "Q-Print II", which 
was a parallel card that allowed you to hook up various printers in
the Apple IIe and IIgs.

    That'd help, I'd certainly recognize them by sight.
