If it has the black anti-dust door, you may have problems with alignment of the
slot.

Funny you should ask.  The 11G was used in a lot of IIci's.  In fact, I
have the one from my IIci out at the moment (gotta get another PRAM
battery and a PS, then reassemble the thing), and it's the 11G version. 
I learned early on with one of my Macs to keep a floppy disk partially
inserted, to prevent dust from being sucked into the drive.

The MPF-75W is the basic model number. The 11G and 12G are revision codes.

If Sony's revision coding is anythin like some other Japanese companies I am 
familiar with, the 11 and 12 indicates the artwork number (or mechanical 
drawing number) and the G indicates the form, fit and function 
compatibility code.

IOW, the 11 and 12 are not relevant, as long as the letter in the G position 
is the same.
