LC & other A2 slotted Macs
I posted a message on this subject last Wednesday and today (Sat, Nov 30)
it has already been wiped off the newsgroup! In any case, here it is
again together with a helpful reply from Nathan Mates.

From the comp.sys.apple2 FAQ
(http://www.visi.com/~nathan/a2/faq/csa2.html), question #9:

Q#9 The Apple ][e Emulation Card
This is a card that fits in certain Macs that lets one run Apple //e
software. It is actually more like a //c because the card is not
expandable like a //e. There is a place on the back of the card to
plug in a UniDisk 5.25" and a joystick. Because the graphics are
handled by the Mac, animation may be slow if you don't have a decent
Mac.
According to Jim Nichol ( jnichol@tso.cin.ix.net), the supported Macs
for such a card are:
The 630 Macs _do_ have LC-style PDS slots. However, the
630's cannot use a IIe Card because you cannot turn off 32-bit addressing
in a 630. The IIe Card _will_ work in all other Macs with an LC-style PDS
slot, including:
Mac LC, LCII, LCIII, Quadra 605, LC475, Performa 475, Performa 550,
Performa 575-8, Color Classic, LC520 (I think), and several other
Performas that are the equivalents of the LC's above.

For exact charts of which Macs are clones of each other, ask on the
Mac groups.
