You're thinking of the IIsi.

The Mac LC's slot is unique ... it can not take cards made for any of the
slots in other Macs.  NuBus and '030 PDS adapters are available for the
slot in the Mac IIsi, not the Mac LC.

Third parties are developing cards for the LC's slot that would let
it use large monochrome and color monitors.
