Wow, I probably shoulda responded earlier...yeah it's for RPGs, specifically the Wizardry series.  On the Apple II, you could import your characters from previous games to play the next in the series...indeed, I think it was the ONLY way to play, because the games weren't geared toward new characters.  The Turbo File was the only way to get around that limitation of the cartridge format, although the difficulty of the games were lowered to keep them beginner friendly.  I'm still unsure of how many games utilized it, but it's a cool piece nonetheless.  Still looking for one...
