I thought there was a Mac Performa or Quadra (like 2 or 3 very specific models only) that supported both Apple DOS and ][e cards.
And I get that the Apple DOS and Apple U/X performance on this machine might not be very good. Early 90’s computers and needing to be wrangled to even support normal, supported operations and configurations wasn’t uncommon.

The only Apple II card was the Apple IIe card (LC PDS). All the machines with a LC PDS had only a single slot, so even if there was a DOS card you wouldn't have been able to use it and the IIe card simultaneously. According to this thread, A/UX never supported any LC model due to significant hardware differences from the supported IIs and Quadras: https://68kmla.org/bb/threads/is-there-a-known-understood-technical-explanation-for-why-a-ux-cannot-be-run-on-the-quadra-630.39066/ https://68kmla.org/bb/threads/is-there-a-known-understood-te...
