I would love to, unfortunately I still don't have that arc scanned, it's a tuffy to find.
All I have is Marvel's official references and descriptions of the event:
http://www.marveldirectory.com/miscellaneous/cosmiccube.htm
Doom demanded the Cube change the universe to match his dreams,
but this nascent (Infant) Cube could not enact such massive change,
and instead found a universe similar to Doom's desires, Earth-892,
and overlaid that onto Doom's universe (Earth-616).
The overlapping universes created great instability,
and had the side-effect of chronically draining both Doom and the Cube,
aging them at an accelerated rate.
Omniversal guardian Roma observed the destabilization,
and sent Earth-616's X-Men (who had been briefly outside their own universe) to investigate.
They failed to stop Doom, and instead the mutant Magneto gained control of the Cube,
and laid yet another universe on top of the pair in answer to Magneto's dreams.
Matters worsened when Earth-616's Red Skull, who had re-formed
and had been observing the chaos from a Catholite protected base on the moon,
stole the Cube
and laid yet a fourth reality on top of the others.
However, the X-Men pursued the Skull.

A single Cosmic Cube has "affected" and nearly destroyed the Omniverse before,
even Roma was involved:
So it's no surprise the Cosmic Cube was able to Re-Write the Omniverse in the X-O crossover.

CHAOS ENGINE -
"Cosmic Cube created by Dr. Doom, used in effort to Re-Write Reality,
actually merged Earth-616 and Earth-892 to form
Earth-Chaos Engine: Dr. Doom by Dr. Doom,
then used to further merge/Re-structure that Reality by Magneto
to form Earth-Chaos Engine: Magneto,
and then again by the Red Skull to form Earth-Chaos Engine: Red Skull;
these alterations affected the entire Omniverse and threatened all Reality."

I'll keep trying to get my hands on these issues,
they must be spectacular. 🙂
