With the recent introduction of the 3 *new* Macintosh models, the Macintosh
LC has a single slot which is usable for the soon-to-be-released Apple IIe
emulator card.  
 
I have some info about this card:
From the 'official' What's Ahead From Apple Apple IIe Card Information Sheet:

65c02 microprocessor, running at 1.02 or 2.04 MhZ (selectable)
256K Ram(128K standard RAM); can also access up to 256K of the Mac LC 
       computer's memory
Apple IIe read-only memory(ROM) simulator( in write-protected portions
  of the RAM) containing an Applesoft BASIC interpreter, system monitor,
  80-column display firmware, and diagnostic routines. 
Supports 40,80 columns, Mousetext, Low-Res, High Res, Double High-Res,
5.25 inch disk drive port, joystick/hand-control port
Uses Macintosh LC mouse, disk drives, and peripheral ports
Supports use of ProDOS, DOS 3.3 and Pascal

Available March 1991
Price (retail) is $199 (Gulp!)

In case you missed the product rollout, the demonstration of this card
was done by booting a Carmen San Diego 5.25 disk on the Mac LC.  (Applause!)

Seems like a VERY REASONABLE price (Price of Mac not-withstanding) for 
this capability.
