I know this isn't *exactly* the answer you are looking for, but...

I have a IIe card in a Mac LC475. The card only works when you double click
onto the software.  At this point, the Mac will transform into a 1mhz Apple
IIe.  When you press open apple-control-power on the Mac, a box will appear
asking if you want to quit the IIe.  After you select yes, then viola, your
Mac turns into a Mac again.  The whole desktop turns into a monochrome IIe.
Pretty cool

I assume the DOS card works the same.
