Yes, probably a couple of bad capacitors. I had a IIci with no sound and it fixed it when I replaced these. It's not too hard to fix.

Good to know. Not sure I'll bother replacing them though.

The particular disk you're using probably doesn't work or isn't the right one for a IIci. There are some disk images online you can download and try.

Neither disk is particular. One is a general System 7.5 boot floppy for 68k machines, the other is simply disk 1 of the System 7.5 install from Apple's site. I've had the disks for years and have used them in a number of 68k machines, including the LC III.

The IIci usually does not have a ROM SIMM. This slot is meant to override the built-in ROM if you want to do that for some reason.

Good.

It may work if you just format it and reinstall. If it doesn't spin, just take it out and twist it around in your hand vigorously to break it free. This happens sometimes when drives have sat for a VERY long time. If that's the case, it may boot up and everything once you get it spinning.

As I said, I've already tried it in my LC III when booting it with said boot floppy. Drive Setup wont recognize anything on the SCSI bus.
