A1200 Slow Boot

[Blizz1220]

When you power up machine do you hear drive doing "click click" or
is it just silent ? I mean without floppy disk inside ?

Maybe it's hacked PC Floppy drive or Escom so it's missing this feature or
it developed fault over time ? Check connection between floppy and
motherboard.No matter how bad PSU is I think stock Amiga with low-profile
turbo card shouldn't be the cause.You'd get no picture then.

Any way to check your Kickstart version (if it's 3.1 or 3.0) ?

Not that caps aren't a concern.

Kick 3.1 introduced that long delay , Amiga 1200 with kick 3.0 has
very short delay (if any) which often results in having to soft reboot
the system for it to boot off hard drive.

However no idea about scsi in A3000.

If you mean yellow/green wire it was shipped that way , not a mod.

Mine has one , so did most ones I saw.And it still works for decades :roflmao:
