I tried installing both a IIe card and a CommSlot ethernet card into an
LC 575 mainboard, and the system would not even boot until one or the other
was removed.

Also, the larger screen of the LC 575 doesn't offer any advantage for the
IIe card -- and its utility for Mac applications depends upon what you are
using (many older applications were designed to work on small screens).  So
in my books, a Mystic is better.  Of course, your opinion may differ.
