Yes but you're more likely to come across a SCSI card than a localtalk 	
card. In the last 10 years I've happened across more than a hundred
SCSI cards and only one localtalk card. But if you have a localtalk card
you can access any hard drive on any Mac with a serial port

Those drives are pretty rare nowadays. Be a shame to use it on the IIe
given that it's one of the few choices for the IIc. You shouldn't have
any trouble swapping one for a ramfast or Apple Hi-Speed SCSI card which
would also be much more practical on a IIe.
