So, back in town and on a bizarre sleep schedule from time zone changes, I was finally able to work on the Mac again.
I tried a new keyboard, mouse, and video card from another working Mac setup, and the time problem continues. I replaced all the RAM with 1 MB SIMMs from a IIci, but no dice. I put in a new hard drive pulled from a IIci and tried booting with extensions on, then off, and both times, nothing. I can't seem to find anything that makes either of these IIcxes count time properly. I don't know if it's "good" news, but all of these attempts cause it to count 1 second for every 3 actual seconds, rather than hold time at a complete standstill.

Two different IIcxes now have:
- • confirmed good keyboard, mouse, and video card
• fresh install of System 7.5.3 or installs of 7.1/7.5.5 on drives pulled from working Macs
• new PRAM battery
• RAM pulled from another working Mac
• floppy drive disconnected
• network card removed
