Not true, because IIsis have their own type of PDS slot too (which is
compatible with the SE/30) and there are cards for those.

The LCs are most notorious^Winfamous^Wnoted for having a PDS slot as their
primary means of expansion, but unique PDS slots are in other units. It's
just that the IIci's PDS slot is particularly underutilised because of all
its other expansion options.
