My understanding is that the IIc memory expansion card will NOT work with 
the IIc+.  I think it had something to do with the fact that the IIc+ is 
faster than the IIc and the card wasn't designed to handle the extra 
speed.  The connectors are the same,though.  So you could plug it in and 
see what happens.  Actually, I just thought of a related question.  I 
wonder if the IIc memory expansion card would work on a IIc that had a 
ZipChip installed?  Anybody have this configuration?  Does it work?  If 
it does, then I would think the card should work fine on a IIc+, unless 
there is something else going on.

I have a AE RamExpress II in my IIc+.  I like it better than the Apple 
card.  It is smaller and uses 256x4 chips (2 chips = 256k), so may 
produce less heat.  It also has a clock built in.  I don't think AE makes 
these anymore, however.  You may be able to find one used.
