Sounds like a clone of the Microsoft Z-80 Softcard.  It is a card originally 
used in the Apple II+ to use the wealth of CP/M based software that was 
avaialable back in the day.  Funny thing; more Apple IIs sold then all the 
Kaypros, Osbornes, Compupro and other machines that used the Z80 processor ever 
did.  For that reason I do believe that most users of CP/M were actually Apple 
users. 
With boot disks you can indeed use CP/M (not MS DOS btw) on your GS. If not 
avaialable here, go to comp.os.cpm and ask.  A fellow there named Don Maslin 
has backups of every CP/M based disk ever made (it seems) and will gladly send 
you a copy  of what you need for a small fee.
