Was wondering if they made a cluster adapter for this computer?

I had to post even though I cannot help you. I have not heard about cluster cards since the 1980's. If memory serves me, these were used to network early IBM computers. Cluster cards that I am aware of fit the IBM PC, IBM XT, IBM AT and even a version that fit the PCjr. But I do not remember if they had one to fit the Convertible.
The next question is why are you interested? (I presume you might be interested in networking the Convertible.)

They did use the Convertible to troubleshoot the Series 1 systems, I have posted on my web site in the IBM section a terminal emulator made for the 5140.
