None. But at least one of the Apple LaserWriters can
use IIfx RAM. RAM found in that printer usually
_can't_ be used in a IIfx because the printer doesn't
require RAM as fast as the IIfx needs.

Any Mac with 30pin SIMM slots, if the speed of the RAM
is fast enough to meet the specs.

It's 30pin, but if the SIMMs are the special type
the Mac II needs for some sizes of SIMMs then it's
best to keep them in the Mac II. To use SIMMs larger
than 1meg in Bank A, a Mac II must have the upgraded
ROM installed. That ROM also supports upgrading the
IWM chip to the SWIM chip, then it can use a 1.44M
floppy drive. The ROM and SWIM chips are available,
if you look around.

It's made to plug directly into a IIci, IIvx, IIvi
or Performa 600. Any other 020 or 030 Mac requires
an adaptor, so it depends on which Mac the adapter
you have will fit.

The LCII is ideal for the ][e card since there's
no point in installing over 8megs RAM in a Mac
using that card. It requires 32bit addressing to be
turned off. Do you have the external cable for
the card? That allows you to connect a joystick
and 5.25" floppy. Never connect the apple 5.25"
floppy to the floppy port on any Mac! It will fry
the floppy controller of the Mac and may ruin the
5.25" drive too.
