   I was just wondering, if any of you guys know if this was just
vaporware or if a card was actually made.

     I remember long time ago, in the late 80's the Apple // users
group I was in kept talking about a card called the 'duet' card.  It
was a Macintosh emulator card for the GS.  They said that the card was
actually made but Apple decided not to put it out because it would
interfer with the Mac Sales. 
   If this card did exist at one time, did any one see this card
actually function. I am guessing that it was just a 68000 at 5mhz ot
7mhz...

There was a Macintosh card developed for the Apple II by a third party.
As I recall it never made it to market because Apple decided not to
licence the Mac ROMs. I was reading a bit on it a number of years back,
likely in one of the Apple II magazines.
