  The IIe card has an actual IIe-in-a-chip on
board.   It plugs into an LC
 slot.  The "LC-slot" originated on the Mac LC, but was instantiated on
 many Mac models after that. 
 Is the "LC-slot" referring to the form factor or the bus interface? 
Primarily the bus interface.  There may have been other Apple connectors
which used the same physical connector but were wired differently.   I am
not aware of any, but Apple did this with other connectors.  For example,
the PDS connector in the IIci, IIsi and SE/30 are the same physically, but
the IIci's is wired quite a bit differently, and even the IIsi and SE/30
have minor differences, though the latter doesn't stop cards from being
cross-compatible.

  Is this a NuBus slot? 
No.  Apple was very fond of the Euro Mini-DIN connector in various pin
numbers, but it is not the same as a NuBus slot.

  Is this the one you're thinking about?

 Apple IIe Card for the Macintosh LC Frequently Asked Questions 
That's it.   Anywhere that FAQ and I differ, I'm probably wrong.  Same for
me and Cameron's post which I saw after I wrote mine.
