It will not.  On a aide note, I heard that when the IIe card is being
used, the 030 on the LC is running code to translate the video signal
onto the onboard video circuitry (since Apple II video is so different
from Mac video).  Thus it will never be possible to run Apple II stuff
under MultiFinder in a window (*that* would've been cool).  Can anyone
confirm/deny this?
