Pretty sure there wasn’t one single model that did all this. The IIe card was for the LC PDS, but the DOS card was Nubus.

A/UX didn’t run on the original LC (68020, no MMU) but it may have worked on later LC series machines.

Edit. LC 630 DOS Compatible wasn’t Nubus, but it was a different PDS type than the original LC

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.

I don't think so.

Apple never made a x86 DOS card for the LC PDS. Maybe a third party like OrangePC did, but I can't find a definitive confirmation online.

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-te...
