I don't think it is the poorest ides Apple ever had. :)
On the other hand, you really should understand why there was a //e card in the
first place... Is it meant to be for everyone?  Also, there seems to be a
confusion over PDS in various macs.  The PDS in the IIci = SE/30 = IIsi.
The one in the LC is an 020 Direct slot.  You can use the same PDS cards for
the SE/30 and IIsi.  It will be hard to fit these in the IIci however.
