    Anybody know what this card goes to?

    this looks like somebody's proprietary memory and I/O expansion. the back side of the board isn't visible, the front has no gold fingers on the ISA card edge, so it's safe to conclude that it won't work with anything other than the specific motherboard it was designed for.

    Apple II (IIe?) called "Polisher"?

    I wouldn't pay too much attention to the label. There were many thousands of mom-and-pop shops selling clones in the 80's, each with their own label.

    Apple II+ character ROM

    AFAIK, the EuroPlus are made in Ireland. A EuroPlus should also have a modified logic board (a few jumpers change) If your logic board does not have those changes, it's possible you have a stock II Plus fitted with a EuroPlus lid.

    286 Upgrade memory with DIP RAM

    Depends on if the board has enough sockets for 4MB, and how attached you are to that motherboard. DIP does get rather expensive, and to reach 4MB you're talking about 36 chips. Assuming the board is fitted with that many sockets, cost of DIP is still considerable. If you're not emotionally...

    Apple II Prototype?

    Apple has a near compulsive obsession with leaving their mark on their "stuff." All their prototypes (that I have seen) are silkscreened with their name, copyright notice and company logo. What you have is without a doubt, a clone board.
