I initially had problems getting my 4000D with a WarpEngine and a SCSI2SD and 3.2 to boot.

After a week of trying to get it to see the SCSI2SD it suddenly started to work.

No idea why it suddenly worked but at no time does it take 8 minutes to boot.

Have you tried it with autoboot turned off K, J and H removed.

You've also got Wait State turned on. This is normally off by default. Jumper D

I've read through the thread and can't see what size Sims you've got fitted

So with the auto boot switched off does it still take 8 minutes to show the Rom screen?

Have you tried another CPU board?

If you're in the UK I can lend you a 030 CPU board for testing

On your photo you appear to have the SCSI cable inserted mid run of the cable.

Is anything fitted on each end of the cable currently?

If you've got a SCSI device on each end of the cable you need to remove the termination on the WarpEngine.

This is my 3rd attempt at replying to this lol

As far as I can see they should be the ones.

Have you got a copy of the manual?

It certainly is with my 4000D as well.

It's been it bits for a year and I'm now just putting it back together after sorting out a few things.

I've installed 3.2 but it seems very slow so I'm going to try it with 3.9 again.
