I use a IIci everyday, all day long and have had no compatibilty problems.  I
use FullWrite, Excel, MPW, LightSpeed Pascal, Pixel Paint, MacDraw, MacPaint,
HyperCard (needed a new version), Aldus Freehand, Aldus PageMaker, MacTerminal,
and plenty of other Apple-Home-Grown software.  Like I said, I've had
no problems.  I hope this helps.
