I forgot one other question.  As one who owns an external 106Mb 
drive made by CSC (more or less reincarnated from my Fujitsu
2243A which I bought from them as a PC drive & then later
had them convert to a Mac external SCSI drive) I am concerned
with tales about various external drives not working with the IIci.
Will this also be true of the IIfx?  What I will probably do is
wait until our department orders a IIfx, bring in my external
drive & give it a try, but others will probably not have the
resources to do this.  Any comments?

If the rules will be the same for the IIci & the IIfx in regards
to external SCSI drives, I guess I could get a jump on things by
bringing my external drive in & testing it with a IIci. Any
comments?
