My 7.6.1 retail CD finally arrived. So I installed it on my only SCSI hard drive with my LC III and then put the drive in the IIci. The IIci does take to it and boots, with no problems whatsoever once booted.
But in addition to the leaking around the sound chips noted above, the same leaking is going on in the area under the power supply. And I've finally confirmed that the machine's floppy bus is fragged; it wont recognize a newly formatted disk in a verified-working drive. It doesn't even try to read anything in the floppy drive - no noise whatsoever.
And my NuBus graphics cards all exhibit odd behavior unless I push or pull them to either side with some force while installed and running.
Me thinks this IIc is more trouble than it's worth.
