My Applicard is (was? I still have it, I just haven't used it in a long 
while) a Franklin-branded 6MHz version, and it's worked fine in a IIe 
and a IIgs. (With, if I recall correctly, the slot set to normal speed 
for booting.)

I did have problems with the pre-IIe versions of the Microsoft Softcard 
in the IIe. (Some of the issues were documented in Sather's 
_Understanding the IIe_?)
