There's the Performa equivalents to the LC series too. Not just the LC, LC II,
and LC III but the LC/Performa 500 series (520 and 550). There are some
400 series Performas too which are equivalent to a Q605. If the card does
indeed work with '040s, that means the Performa 575/7/8 qualify too. Apple
really got confusing with these LC/Performa models. For example, an LC 550
has an '030 while a 475 has an '040. And a 400 has the crippled 16 bit bus
and 16 MHz clock like an LC.

FWIW I have a pair of these cards on hand plus a Color Classic. The card
works both on the original CC logic board and with an LC520 board swapped
in. 

Also someone asked elsewhere in this thread what drives connect to the
card. You can consider the card the same as a Unidisk 3.5 capable //c in
that regard. The 3.5 controller is in slot 5 and the 5.25 is in slot 6.
The card's software doesn't allow these to be in other slots. I prefer 
having the 3.5 card in slot 7 like in my //e. Apple went to absurd lengths
to keep that setup, e.g. the mouse is in slot 7 and the memory card is in slot
4 on the memory expandable //c. Putting the mouse in 4, the memory card in 5,
and the 3.5 in 7 makes much more sense.
