As far as I'm aware, the CD drive cannot be opened by software unless there's a disc in the drive. The CD buttons on these systems can get hard to open if there's no shim between t…

Thanks for the reply! I still haven't taken the time to get to know those babies… So excuse me if the question sounds dumb, but by "changing the ROMs" do you simply mean a firmwar…

Yes, I know. Only problem; I seem to have misplaced the CPU... *Grrrrrr* Same problem applies to the "SuperDrive"; the original optical drive have gone missing as well, and the re…

It would have been easier to follow Bunsen's advice. If you still have the original CPU, put that one back in the Cube, install OS 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 upgrade, then put the CPU upgrad…

I think I might have cracked my own problem; enabling me to install OS 9.2.2 without my original cube CPU, and without installing on another computer: 1. re-install Mac OS 10.4 (C…

Nice conquest! I've always liked the early IBM PC's, and OS/2 is friggen' awesome! Click to expand... I've always thought IBM made some pretty awesome stuff. Even when I was a …

OS/2 is friggen' awesome! Click to expand... Except for the default sounds in OS/2 3.0 Warp. They are extremely naff and irritating. Click to expand... They're rather annoy…

If you still have the original CPU, swap that in, install, and swap back. You might want to get a legit full retail copy of 9.2.2. as well. Is the optical drive known good? ie w…

Yeah, the only thing I can think of is to get a cheap G4 CPU online, like one that came out of a sawtooth or something. (I looked at pictures and they theoretically should work. bo…

I also have a German Newton, and as far as I am aware, you can only change the language by changing the ROMs for an English version.

anyone know what the LCD model number is for the active matrix? i got a ton of active matrix LCDs laying around, might have one that compatible....

Mac128, I know I have a problem somewhere. Even when I connect to my G4 Cube (booted into OS 9) via my iMac i7 (using Go > Connect to server > afp://192.168.24.52) i…

booting my G4 directly into OS 9 and running MacDraw Pro from there. In that case, I was unable to generate a PDF from MacDraw Pro due to a crash. Click to expand... You said …

JDW, thanks for your work. I usually make PDFs by printing to a file, which works on my 68K Macs without crashing. Then Preview makes PDFs after transferring to an OS X Mac. Sorry …

Mac128, yes I "assume" it will work as you describe when creating a PDF via Classic. I did not try that, instead booting my G4 directly into OS 9 and running MacDraw Pro from ther…

Ah ... 35 objects, eh? I suppose that's possible except, I opened one file which only displayed 3 objects, so not sure. There are conversion reports which revealed "No resource for…

Mac128, I just downloaded the EasyDraw Demo. I tried it on HENRY's original MacDraw formatted files and the MacDraw Pro formatted versions that I created. In both cases, I got th…

THX: to H3NRY & JDW! :approve: Click to expand... Yes thanks! But it would still be interesting to find a way to open them directly under OS X. I found a shareware a…

THX: to H3NRY & JDW! :approve:

HENRY, bless you for making this available! I created a PDF. I started by copying the files from my OS 10.6 iMac to my OS 9 G4 Cube. I then used FileBuddy to add back the file t…

What I really just want to do is "play" a Mac as a software synthesizer. The older, the better, as I'd think the "lower quality" synths would be more unique. I can go as old as an …

I'll have a go at converting it with my sign software, CAD packages and my illustration apps, have you tried to open/import it into AI, FreeHand or CorelDraw? Those are all good be…
