Neither network card, nor two devices on the IDE controller adds to the boot time. I'm more convinced that it's caused by the software not been configured correctly, icons in chip ram, missing patches, etc. Having a fullblown background picture on 1230 takes time; disabling it will save you from a lot of the waiting time.

Dunno about that. For years I ran my A1200/030/50 with no patches, new icons and a full desktop picture. It booted in well under a minute.

I'd be tempted to wipe it and start again. At least you would know exactly what's on there.


There is a difference between running OS3.9 with what seems to be a .jpg, to a OS3.1 setup with NewIcons and a iff background (which I'm guessing is what you had).
