Ok, so we all know about the Apple //e card for the LC which
allows Apple // software to run on a Mac.  But lots of people
out there in the scientific community have Apples with 
specialized hardware for collecting data or controlling
equipment.  They'd like to upgrade to LC's, but don't want
to because they'd lose their hardware compatibility.

Is anyone in the process of developing a product
for supporting Apple // hardware via the LC?  I agree it's
pretty esoteric, but I have to ask.  It sounds like the
perfect product for a third party to develop.  For example
imagine a box with expansion slots for Apple // cards.
The box would be connected to a Mac LC via an expansion
card, and the LC would also run the Apple //e card (or
does the LC only have one expansion slot?).  Yes, I do
work for Apple, at least this week I do.
