As a FireWire drive, it works great. I have run into one concern: If I hook up the miniStack's USB uplink port to the Cube, the Cube won't sleep. Specifically, it tries to go to sleep and then wakes up, tries to sleep, wakes up, etc. There doesn't have to be anything connected to one of the USB ports on the miniStack for this to happen. This is the first time I have hooked up a powered hub to the Cube. I have started exchanging email with OWC (from whom I bought the miniStack) about the problem, but am wondering if there may be a Cube- specific problem relating to attaching powered USB hubs. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks! - Don -- Don V.

I have a USB 2.0 hub/port replicator that I have used unpowered. Tonight, I wired up an AC adapter to run it as a powered hub. It works fine, and the Cube _will_ sleep with the hub powered. Guess the problem is somehow due to the miniStack, and I'll see what kind of resolution I can get with OWC on the matter. BTW - The hub/port replicator that I am using is labeled 'DK201' without a brand name. These are all over eBay. I have an older model; paid $9.99 for it at a local used computer outlet. The one I use has 4 USB ports, PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse ports, a parallel printer port and a serial port. After installing Prolific 2303 drivers, I have tried all of the ports except the parallel printer port. They all work fine with the Cube. I especially like having a serial port to link with my Newton. - Don From teddixon at mac.com Tue Sep 11 21:51:44 2007 From: teddixon at mac.com (Ted Dixon) Date: Tue Sep 11 21:52:18 2007 Subject: [Cube] New Apple keyboards work with Cube In-Reply-To: <27E8E0F4-33F7-46DB-A632-1A79777257E1@xs4all.nl> References: <27E8E0F4-33F7-46DB-A632-1A79777257E1@xs4all.nl> Message-ID: <164A93A4-2E28-4930-9173-563587056689@mac.com> I installed the new USB keyboard today, replacing the original G4 Cube (450) keyboard.

The card was extremely hard to find then, and expensive as used cards go. I needed the card so that I could replace the original 15 inch display (clear plastic frame) for an Apple aluminum 20 inch Cinema display. The new keyboard's sleek profile looks very good with the 20 inch Cinema display. The silver/aluminum wrapper inside the clear plastic Cube's outer shell also is complemented by the keyboard. And, by the way, the Apple keyboard software update is triggered by the presence of the keyboard and will be available at the "next" scheduled Apple software notification. The software update does in fact activate the new function keys, i.e., video forward, reverse, play/pause; screen brightness; dashboard, etc. The original grey with black keys keyboard looked great with the original Cube tennis ball sized speakers that were clear plastic outer casings with black inner skeletons. I currently use the original Harmon Kardon Soundsticks w/sub woofer for sound and with the new keyboard, I'm pleased with the overall look of my system.

I hope not to be killed or banned or anything else, when my comment is a little bit critical? Although it is designed quite well ("chic" as most Apple products), it is not an object of my desire, I must regret. Why? 1. the keyboard has again a new scheme: function keys need a second key to be used. That's not very practical. 2. It's not ergonomic. But since I'm using ergonomic keyboards for years, nearly every other feels bad.

Just restart your Mac and hold the mouse button down during the startup procedure. This will cause any removable media to be ejected without having to use any command line text in terminal mode. Also, there should be a small hole on the front of your disk reader that you can insert a straightened paper clip into and gently press the disk release lever to eject the disk. Either of these methods are usually successful. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I?ve tried all the usual methods, but the Cube simply doesn?t recognize the optical drive with the new HD installed. It looks at the HD, doesn?t find an OS, and just stops there, blinking the ?folder? icon that indicates it can?t find an OS anywhere. It doesn?t seem to try to look down the chain for the optical drive. I reinstalled the old HD, complete with OS 10.4, and it booted fine and recognized the optical drive. It was the only way to get the old CD to eject without disassembling the machine and mechanically removing it. I then reinstalled the new HD, put the OS 10.4 DVD in the drive and pressed ?C? to try to get the thing to boot to the OS installer. No dice. It still tries to look for an OS on the new HD and then stalls there. This is a new one on me, and I?ve installed more than a few hard drives into older Macs. BTW, I?m using the latest/ last version of the Cube firmware (4.19, I think) and I?ve also maxed out the memory and added the Powermax 1.67 GHz processor upgrade. The larger HD would be nice if I can get the Cube to install an OS. Sigh. Does anybody know what?s going on?

One just appeared here: Note that it is listed as 'unknown working condition'. I've dealt with these folks before; I have purchased several Macs from their retail outlet as well as a couple of items from their eBay store. No other relationship with them. - Don From DZAHNISER at Rochester.rr.com Thu Sep 27 06:42:01 2007 From: DZAHNISER at Rochester.rr.com (DZAHNISER) Date: Thu Sep 27 06:42:07 2007 Subject: [Cube] Cube, miniStack and Sleep In-Reply-To: <683AF0F5-C100-4D28-B132-580DEF4AD7B1@Rochester.rr.com> References: <683AF0F5-C100-4D28-B132-580DEF4AD7B1@Rochester.rr.com> Message-ID: <1F7E1F4F-00EE-4076-A71B-24172DAC2D22@Rochester.rr.com> Just to close this out: On Sep 8, 2007, at 9:37 AM, DZAHNISER wrote: > Hi, all - > > I just obtained a Newer Technology miniStack v2 to use with my Cube > (system specs below).

I returned the miniStack to OWC, who indeed found a problem and repaired it. However, when it came back, the Cube still wouldn't sleep when connected to the miniStack via USB. I connected it up to my son's B&W PowerMac G3, and the sleep functions all worked correctly. So, the thought is that there may be an incompatibility between the Cube and the miniStack v2. It still works great as a FireWire drive. As I mentioned in a previous note, I now have a powered hub hooked up to my Cube with no other problems. - Don From slick.willy at gmail.com Sat Sep 29 21:08:39 2007 From: slick.willy at gmail.com (bill gates) Date: Sat Sep 29 21:08:48 2007 Subject: [Cube] DVD won't eject from firmware In-Reply-To: References: <1DBB12DC-7A24-4870-8EE1-DD4BCB771360@mac.com> Message-ID: <5ffcafc20709292108x731a9be7h310d7f049b59b465@mail.gmail.com> On 9/22/07, Tom Burns wrote: > I reinstalled the old HD, complete with OS 10.4, and it booted fine and > recognized the optical drive.

Not that it would have helped, given your real problem. but the magic paper clip hole in the Cube's OD is an electrical trigger on the far left side of the slot.
