There are not any cards available as there is not slot, but Radius and a
few others have announced cards that will work with the classic.  They
will use the same type of scab clip on used in the early Mac pluses for
attaching things to the CPU without any type of bus.  As to the slow,
it won't be any slower than on an SE, and if Radius is producing such
a connection, I'm sure that they will also try to provide for an accelerator
card to attach as well.
