OK, what it does (if it's the Apple one) is as you said, an Apple IIe
emulation. It basically is an IIe on a card, with an interface to the
computer where the slots (for the IIe) should be. (pickle, help out here...)

Yes, yes, and no. The software can be d/l'd from ftp.info.apple.com. The
software emulates ( ][ ) slots, as well as providing a way to start the
emulation. There is an extension too; I believe it is called ProDOS File
Access. It might come with the software.

It is for a cable "dongle", with two connecters coming out. One is for
joystick and the other is for 5 1/4 floppy drive.

Yes, but you need that "dongle". And a floppy drive.
