Comment on Burning a Magnesium NeXT Cube (1993)

Comments

Stories such as this make me nostalgic, and wish my Cube still booted up, and/or that GNUstep would get some traction, or even that I had a better successor to Altsys Virtuoso than toggling the settings for my stylus in Windows so that I can run Macromedia Freehand/MX.

What problem are you having with the boot? Is it power supply issues or something else?

Bad capacitor I believe --- unfortunately, since the problem developed I've moved twice, and then been forced out of my home by a flood, and still haven't gotten things sorted out since returning. Maybe when I retire.
