I don’t have the box (never had it, I purchased the mouse recently).

That’s a really cool looking device! You absolutely nailed the design language.

Do we know the power requirements of the CPU upgrades? I’ve noticed the CPU modules (even the stock ones) seems to have a voltage regulator on the board, next to the CPU. So, does the CPU modules really tax the VRM, or are they powered directly from the PSU? (That would explain why they include...

One thing that could explain leakage in computers that had seen a lot of use is stress induced by cycles of heating and cooling. When the computer is running, heat will expand the capacitors and when the computer is turned off cooling will shrink them again. Repeat every day for several years...

Another site, still online, that I think really needs to be mirrored (just in case!): http://themacelite.wikidot.com/

You can also modify Apple’s CD/DVD driver.

Turns out I have the exact same interface board: just remove the jumper, so 2-3 will be open and in the Hi configuration that would be slave!

csel means cable select, the master/slave configuration is determined by the cable, but it’s not supported in the Cube. Lo (low) is master and Hi (high) is slave, or is it the other way around?!

As by default the hard drive is set to master, the optical drive should be set to slave (or ID 1). There should be a jumper on the little adapter board between the ribbon cable and the optical drive.

Are you sure it’s not a master/slave problem? I have replaced the optical drive in a few cubes and don’t recall ever needing a driver. Does the drive appear in System Profiler?

Laser diodes tend to fail over time. They have a finite running time. That’s a problem that plague audio CD players too. There’s nothing that can be done, except replacing the laser pickup assembly. Good luck finding the part… (I too have a stack of non working tray-loading scsi cdrom drives)

Someone done it already: The fake floppy disk is not removable, ejects halfway only, contains the screen, buttons, sd card reader, and is connected via a ribbon cable to the circuit board inside the drive enclosure. The drive itself is stripped of almost all mechanical parts, retaining only...

What’s stranger is that Apple allowed them to resell Cube PSUs in the first place! I bought a DVIator back in the day, it definitely came with a Cube PSU. Having a spare proved to be very useful. I watch Cube listings on eBay and spare Cube PSUs seems quite common.

The DVIator was sold with an original Apple Cube PSU. See the product page.

I replaced a Rayovac with a CR2032 by soldering directly to it, no need for a support! My method in pictures:

And you must set the monitor resolution to 640x480 (or does it need thousands or more colors?) if you want any image displayed in the Apple Video Player. If you have a PCI video card, it will not work on the monitor connected to that card. The TV tuner is analog only, it doesn’t do DVB-T, so...

Putting a LCD in a SE/30 case (often with a more modern computer) is not a new idea at all. How about 14 years ago? It’s in french, but you can see that the author link to other older projects that inspired him. When such an idea, such projects have been around for such a long time, have been...

What about a G4 Cube version? Is it planned? Is the circuit the same, and just a matter of a different PCB?

I have a Compact Flash adapter (this one) in my Power Mac 6400 and it’s working fine.

This is a very short adapter cable, but there exists real long db15 to vga cables, that plugs directly into your monitor.
