Based on the description of the problem, it's not the color board or any of
the INITs, it's the WDEF virus.  This is one of the major problems with
WDEF:  it's completely incompatible with the Mac IIci.  The IIci will crash
more or less the moment an infected floppy is inserted in the disk drive.

Aren't viruses wonderful?  Wouldn't you like to send a big vote of thanks
to your local virus authors?  I know I would.
