This might not be a good idea.  I have similar power up problems when I
unplug my IIcx when I out of town (It's ALWAIS on when I'm in town).

Another problem that I have which scares me is that every now and then
my IIcx will not boot from the hard disc - again, this is when I unplug
the machine for a long time (about a week).  After I boot from floppy,
I have no other problems.  Anyone have any ideas?
