It is a 3"x5" card horizontal pds card, has a MC 68881 RC20B on U1
labeled square and a XC 68020 RC25E on a U2 labeled square, another 7
small and little chips lying around and a crystal Ecliptek at
25.000MHz.
No company name no product name on board only this "Mac LC / LC II
Performa 400 / 405 / 410 / 430".
The printed circuit board has this on its back "F2T-B9A" "94V0 15-94"

I own a Mac LC and I have been playing around with it lately,
installing the 7.5.5 and all. This pds card is hooked up but I dont
know if LC recognizes it or it needs an extension.

Well, it is an accelerator running a '020 at 25MHz with a 68881 FPU,
obviously. It is difficult to determine what manufacturer made it, but
it might be a Sonnet Allegro.

It needs an extension to run (when the extension is loaded, all
processing is moved to the card). A quick Google search did not turn up
the needed extension (Assuming it is the Sonnet)

Good luck!
