My observations of this card:
Loading off a 5.25 is very slow. Not just slow... very slow.

There are subtle incompatibilities. I don't have a list here, but I do recall
that Choplifter does strange things, after 16 men. There are numerous other
problems.

In screen I/O intensive programs, I have determined that the LC is 0.5 to 0.7
times as fast as a IIe (in 1 Mhz mode) and 0.7 to 1.1 times as fast as a IIe
(in 2 Mhz mode).

Frankly, for $400 (CDN) I'd rather have a IIe (hey, who said I wasn't biased?)
