Robert,
I don't speak German, but I took a look at the technical pages at the
rear of the manual you linked, and it is neither an Aux-Slot (e.g.
RamWorks) clone, which is for the IIe only, nor does it seem to be a
Slinky (e.g. RamFactor) clone.
Given that those are two of the three memory card types that AppleWorks
3/4/5 recognize out of the box (the other being IIgs expansion memory),
I think it may be tough to expand the AppleWorks desktop with them.
On the other hand, if it happens to be a clone of the bank-switched
Legend Industries 1 meg card, you might want to try and get a Legend
utility disk and see if they don't have a mod program to patch
AppleWorks 3 to use it. Or, get a copy of PlusWorks to use with
AppleWorks 2 and give it a try. Here's some docs:
<http://apple2online.com/web_documents/Plusworks%20WS.pdf>
Since you have a IIe, and are interested in AppleWorks, you can get an 8
Meg card from Garrett's Workshop for only $35.00 and AppleWorks 5.1 can
use 6 meg of it for Desktop. Just a suggestion, of course.

Hi Robert,
Thank you for answering in French :-)
I wrote to Tom, a German collector who provided me with Erphi materials for the Apple II Documentation Project. I also gave him the link to here.
Cheers,
Antoine

Thanks. Some of the Legend tools work, other don't. Thanks for the lead. I wasn't aware of Garrett's Workshop--ordered a card!

Robert,
I imagine you'll be happy with that Garrett's Workshop card. These
modern cards are really low-power designs that should run very cool.
Just in case you do want to use that card for a giant AppleWorks
Desktop, know that out-of-the-box AppleWorks 5.1 will use 3 Meg of it,
giving you about a 2 Meg Desktop.
But, I have patched 'APLWORKS.SYSTEM' to use 6 Megs on these new cards,
giving you about a 4 Meg Desktop.
The replacement file (and some background on the mods) are here:

All the best,
