Yes, the parts are generally exchangeable between the 2 Macs - SIMMS, hard
disk, floppy drive, power supply.

Speaking of the power supply, the IIcx and some early model IIci's had
this problem of starting up.  A simple solution was to replace the power
supply - costly through Apple, but cheap if you can get one from an old
IIci/Quadra 700/IIvi/IIvx/PM7100 - all use the same power supply.  The new
power supplies that fixed the problem are of a 112w and I think the old
ones were an 84w.

I hope this helps.
