The MacCon LC NIC in the Performa 550 I don't have
anymore had _holes_ for the extended PDS connector
and some other missing bits. Dunno what kind of
extra features it would've had if those parts were
installed.

Sorry, should have specified that I was guessing.

The extra pins widen the expansion bus to 32bits.  I've never 
actually seen an "LCIII" card, even though I've seen some LC cards on 
boards that had solder points for an LCIII connector.

Probably went the same way as the Commodore128 and the //gs

...and I don't know of a single accelerator that used 'em.  All the
accelerators I know of for the LC-class Macs were compatible with all of
'em, so they couldn't have used the extra pins.

I haven't seen a video card that did either, but info on LC video cards is
a bit sparse.

What about those MediaVision PAS-16 sound cards for the LC slot?  National
Instruments boards for the LC slot?  It's the obscure stuff that might have
needed it..

I've never seen an ethernet card that did.  If you get time I'd 
really appreciate you checking on that.

I think it was mostly for accelerators and video cards.

I think so.  I believe the Ethernet cards in my LC III and Q605 use them.
I can't check it though without downing a couple of servers.

Not that I've ever heard of.  It's suspected that some were, but I don't
recall anyone ever mentioning a specific one.

BTW, your clock is about three years behind.
