I see now, A Cube is a Powermac 5,1, not supported. Videocard is an Ati Rage 128Pro (with 16 Mb ram)

Luckily you got the names right next to the system ID, and of course the Cube was newer sold as a PowerMac, that name is reserved for their tower models, you've also got sites like EveryMac.com to help you figure out what you've got.


Errr. It was sold as Powermac Cube G4. Even the manual says so. The sale pitch was "Power of a Tower Powermac in a small cube." Sadly it is a bit of shit computer ;). Hard to expand and very hard to reach its ports (you have to turn it over, and then it turns of ...)
