Apple and many others made them in the past but I have not seen any current
versions available. I have seen cards modified to suit:

If you do not need the lid to still close, you can cut the excess
pins off a PC-XT prototyping card (although the power busses might cause
problems). eg http://www.web-tronics.com/pc218907.html

I remember seeing a picture of that in Jim Sather's book "Understanding
the Apple II" (or perhaps the followup "Understanding the Apple IIe").
Not sure if it was sold that way or if a breadboard was attached later.
