I've got both a loaner 7100 and my IIci open, and I'm unconvinced. Yes, much of the slots are in the same place, like Terry said, but the boards are not all that much alike in my opinion. Does Apple actually say these are the same form factor? I could accept (grudgingly) that they have

Check the FAQ; the IIci is a common form factor for several later mobos including the 7100. I hope you mean the Q700, because the 7100 it is *not* :-) It actually is... I've got both a loaner 7100 and my IIci open, and I'm unconvinced. Yes, much of the slots are in the same place, like

While we're on the topic of upgrades via mobo swap, I read it's possible to swap ouit the IIci motherboard for a PowerMac board of some sort. Which powermac boards will fit in this case? Will they work w/ my SCSI hdd, external SCSI devices, etc.? Thx, -- Deven IIci Lover Gallo -- Vintage

The only one I can think of that would even be close would be the 7100, but it's really meant for a IIvx case... The 7100 is SCSI, so your devices will work as well. Some NuBus cards aren't compatible, but your HDs will be. Terry While we're on the topic of upgrades via mobo swap, I read it's

In a roundabout sort of way, it is. They are both 3 slot NuBus Macs. The ports are basically in the same positions too. The cases aren't really identical, since the IIcx/ci/Q700 doesn't accomidate an internal CDROM, but aside from that... I hope you mean the Q700, because the 7100 it is *not*
