Wow, Google is usually your friend here, but it only has one hit:

The 88-CARD

Another card imported by CompuMusic which we have not had a chance to test 
is the 88-CARD, also from PCPI. This card contains the 16 bit Intel 8088 
microchip and allows you to run MS-DOS and CP/ M-86 16 bit operating 
systems. While you can't put an IBM PC disk straight into your Apple, you 
can download software from that machine and run it on your Apple. This 
obviously opens a whole new world to the Apple 11, and with some extra 
memory and a larger disk drive (and a better keyboard, etc) the Apple 11 is 
in every way the equivalent of an IBM PC.

We look forward to the opportunity of testing this card, which we will as 
soon as they become available. In the meantime we are left to ponder just 
what this new generation of peripheral cards means for the Apple 11.
