I guess you can get online with an USBadapter .. not sure USBsound is supported ?

Actually, the network can be made working with some additional tweaks, it's just the USB audio that requires way more efforts.

pega-1,

Any clues as to how?

Also MorphOS is working pretty well, the 16MB graphics card holds it back a bit, half the blankers don't work (greyed out in the selection, which is good), and only a 2 colour mouse pointer, but other than that, certainly usable.

Which was a real nice suprise, thanks to the MorphOS team for allowing it boot on an 'unsupported' machine.

Managed to get the MorphOS/MacOSX dual boot to work, bit fiddly, and got the onboard (wired) network to work on my 450Mhz Apple Cube.

It's what I'm using to write this...

Does the CUBE work with MorphOS per coincedence because it has very similar hardware compared to supported hardware or did one of the devs actually had one ?

Something for your cube ? http://cgi.benl.ebay.be/SONNET-ENCORE-ST-G4-1G-CUBE-UPGRADE-CPU-TOOL-FAN-SCREW-/200521315531?pt=CPUs&hash=item2eb00074cb

I bought my Sonnet 1.8ghz from them and their price isn't bad in my opinion.

Cool, I thought it was impossible. This means one could actually register MorphOS on a Cube, wow.

in MorphOS 2.7 ?

Yes.

Hello,

i have just installed morphos 2.7 on my cube, but i didn't succeed in networking.
Can someone explain what to do, please ?

I was wondering if it would be worth adding the 'G4 Cube, WITH NO SOUND' to the list of the supported models when 2.8 is released?

There isn't much you can do. We basically didn't do autonegotiation fixes for Cube, so it might work for some, it might fail for some. After all, this isn't an officially supported machine.

I've seen many accelerated Cube's for sale over the past few years. 1.6GHz to 1.8GHz seems to be the fastest speeds and often advertised.

If the MorphOS Dev. Team finishes other more important work first, they might want to eventually support such models if it is not too difficult to do so, as they should run MorphOS quite nicely. But, I am sure there are features that are higher on their priority list of things to do (like finishing support for the G4 PowerBook).

Thanks to stephen_robinson and pega-1,

Owings to their help i succeed in networking on my cube, what a good surprise it's very responsive.
Hope that there will be an issue for sound in the future.

Regards.

Hello all,

Any news about the port of morphos 3 ?

Any chance to have sound supported for the cube ? autherwise i probably sell it.

Thanks for answer.

Regards.

I'm not a developer, but I doubt they'll write USB sound card drivers to be honest, after Mac Minis are 4 times as small, 3 times more powerful, and the onboard sound works..

Ho, i understand... but what a shame morphos runs so well on the cube better than my mac OS X.
only the sound is missing, i'm not a coder too but is it so difficult to port it ? and to make alive the cube...

No I haven't tested it, and I'm not even sure it would make sense with USB1.1 (which is AFAIK all you will get with a Cube).

AFAIK the lack of isosynchronous transfer support in pciusb.device scuppers any chance of USB sound cards working on the Cube (or any other MorphOS supported mac for that matter).

Is it sound support the only problem? Cause I think MorphOS does not even run in Cube. Or have I missed something?

Morphos runs on the cube even networking and watching youtube video are possible only sound is missing.
unfortunately sound will never works, i asked frank Mariak and he answered me : " Cube (and it's USB audio) won't get official support with 3.0,
unfortunately. First of all, I don't have one and on a second thought, the
USB driver doesn't support the special transfer mode that is required for
USB audio.
Maybe at some later point but definitely not around the corner ...."

Just to revive some old thread in context of the recent MorphOS3.4 update, PowerMac 5,1 Cube is supported even though it is not officially mentioned anywhere and there was even some fix in the latest update related to some networking setup issue. With MorphOS 3.4, it should basically work OOTB.
There is indeed the remaining issue of missing usb audio support, though.

Well it was mentioned in the changelog, does that mean it's officially supported now?
