Doesn't SuperClock just display the System 7 clock's time on the menubar? I've never actually used it because I've never actually cared about the time on the menubar, but that would be my guess. But not only that, since this machine is running as a server, it needs to have accurate time. The system time is the time that really matters, since it provides the foundation for time/date stamping and because applications just do API calls (I'm showing my Windows background; I don't know what this is called on the classic Mac OS) to the OS for the time.

This is exactly why I posted this on here. The keyboard, mouse, and video card were definitely common to both of the IIcx trials. I knew I'd forgotten something that should be obvious. I mean, it "shouldn't" be the problem since all have worked with other Macs, but you never really know until you try it and I'm grasping at straws here. I really wanted to use the IIcx for this project (don't ask me why, I'm not sure I could tell you exactly
), but I may have to end up switching machines. I'll swap the devices from another functional setup to try it tomorrow and post back. Thanks for the suggestions!
