My IIe card has worked fine in an LCII for several years. You might try the following: use 2.2.1 software, and delete the A/Rose and IIe Prefs files. The following is from the Apple TIL: *************** *************** "To use the Apple IIe Card on a Macintosh LC II, Macintosh LC III, or Performa 400 series running System 7.1 or System 7.1P, you need version 2.2.1 of the Apple IIe Card software. You should upgrade to version 2.2.1 ONLY if you are using System 7.1. Any error listed "Error Type 1" through an "Error Type 4", an error 10019, a "defective card error", and/or a partial screen in the IIe mode are indicators of the incorrect version of the IIe Card software. Some customers launching the IIe Startup application are getting dialog to the effect "This card is defective." They may also be experiencing their IIe software "freezing" either while in use or after sitting idle. This can happen on any Macintosh computer that supports the Apple IIe Card. This can also happen if you install an Apple Ethernet Card in certain Macintosh computers, and then later remove it and install in its place an Apple IIe Card. You may also encounter occasional crashes after approximately 30 minutes of idle time. To correct this problem, delete the A/Rose and IIe Prefs files then restart. A/Rose is located in the Extensions Folder and IIe Prefs is located in the same folder as the IIe Startup application."
