So, when I finally upgraded my Cube, I partitioned my drive, one for OS 9 and the other OS X. However, I discovered several OS 9 programs wouldn't work with this environment. Shortly after, I'd bought aluminum Powerbook laptop (OS 10.4) that allowed OS 9 boot within OS X.

In 2005 I upgraded Cube RAM to its max 1.5 gig but still hadn't upgraded from OS 9. Some DVD copyguards are set to not play if it detects player has DVD recording capability. I'd later discover some DVDs wouldn't play in my laptop's DVD player but would in the Cube. One great thing about the Cube's DVD player: it doesn't record. It has 'toaster' DVD drive and was technically my first DVD/CD player. It's my last desktop computer, as my later computers have been laptops. I bought my Cube in 2001, just as they were being discontinued. Until I found this, the most current was 2010!! Thanks for starting this thread! I've never owned an Atari, but joined the forum because I was Googling for anything *recent* on G4 Cube fans.

I even dual-boot my old Performa 6116CD between System 7.5.5 and Mac OS 8.6 on its SCSI drive. I then used my original Tiger and Leo disks from there.

Just booted from original install disks and formatted the new drives and did a clean install. I triple-boot my Quicksilver G4 between 9.2.2/10.4/10.5 with no issues. I've always had good luck installing from factory disks. It's been a while but I think 'folder blessing' is an issue if you're simply copying a System Folder from another drive. It's more of a novelty of impressive design and engineering at this point.Īs far as dual-booting these old Macs there really shouldn't be any problems. The firmware is already as far as it can go (v1.4, IIRC) so it must be something else? Until I can iron that out I don't use it for anything important. I do have issues with it shutting off by itself though. I then found original disks for it on eBay and restored it to Mac OS 9 (and later installed X). I bought a Cube from a guy on Reddit a little over a year ago. More to come! Please post all your cube memories, wisdom and info here. I will post updates on upgrading various aspects of the cube, for starters RAM, Graphics card, and HD, but hopefully eventually the Processor and various software/hacks as well. Please do PM me if you have an extra one you are willing to part ways with. They don't seem to be available anywhere commercially, so I'm waiting until one pops up on ebay. I am still looking for a G4 Cube processor upgrade.

Here are the best places to get Cube upgrades, as well as for most other macs (ebay as well of course): Currently using a MCE external CD-R firewire drive. Also will soon be ordering a DVD-R Superdrive (internal) to replace the stock unit which is prong to failure.

I have currently upgraded my RAM to 1.5 GB (the most it will take.) The HDD to 120GB, it will take 128 without partitioning schemes, though apparently there is a patch available that will allow it to accept 'big' drives (more on that later.) And I found a Nvidia Geoforce3 MX 64 GB graphics card to replace the stock 16mb unit. Pictured below on the desk is my example. The cube is moving slowly from a viable web surfer (you still can do web and email no problem) to being more of a vintage program and gaming machine. I wanted to start a G4 Cube thread and pool some information and resources here as they are slowly disappearing elsewhere around the web.
