Gah. Something else.

Don't let the IIci see your SCSI Disk Mode laptop with a PCMCIA card inserted with a CF card that counts as a large volume (2GB and up). It will render your Powerbook's drives unreadable to the IIci and force a reinitialization and OS install (actually--you don't have to have an OS on a drive for it to be seen by a desktop Mac). Not a huge task if you have the tools, but a hassle. Upside is that I learned something and from now on will be careful about what's in the PCMCIA slots when I connect in SCSI disk mode.

Best,

John
