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.
