We have a second hand Cube here without a microphone.  I've tried using a  
Macintosh microphone but it won't work.  Lip service does not record  
anything at all.   Is there a special kind of mike required for this  
machine?  The port is at the back of the display and the Mac mike plugs in  
fine (I don't know the name of the connector but is the common audio type  
connector). 

Any suggestions?

If you look at the Mac mike I think you'll find that even though it's a mono  
mike, it has a stereo plug. I suspect that it's drawing it's power from the  
Mac.

Try either an electret mike with an external power source or a dynamic mic.
