Sefan: I guess not. PL code patch puts a completely new/different firmware version in a Cube, as I remember to put back the original 450MHz CPU without unpatching first and the Cube wouldn't boot at all. Unpatching first did solve the issue. Glad you have a working update now. If I chose Giga, I'd opt for a fanless upgrade though.

I also could solve the OS 9-problems, but I don't understand them at all... (???)
