CyberstormPPC SCSI settings

[x56h34]

I currently have only one SCSI device in my CSPPC SCSI chain. It's a hard drive (unit 0).

The card produces a considerable delay before the hard drive starts to boot, as I have no IDE devices connected to the motherboard controller, and I need to wait for the scsi.device to stop seeking for a drive before it would switch to CSPPC SCSI scanning.

Anyways, I suspect that the unusual long delay is also a bit due to settings of the CSPPC SCSI early boot menu. Here's what I did:

Unit 0 has a setting of LUN-1. I can tweak this for anything from LUN-1 to LUN-8.
Everything else is switched off (NO LUNs), except unit 7, which is the controller itself.

My question is, can these settings be manipulated in any better way in order for me to decrease some of the boot delay which is happening due to possible long scanning of the SCSI bus? The major culprit is the 3.1 Roms' IDE seek delay, but I have a suspition that CSPPC SCSI has its share of delays too, since it could potentialy not be optimized to quickly scan what's in the chain, and boot.

Any tips? What settings should I use in the CSPPC early boot menu in the SCSI portion?

Thanks.

Hi Piru.

Yes, I have that hack too. :-)
It has increased the speed of my boot time noticeably, however there's still a largeish delay. I guess CSPPC simply must take its time, and that's it. :-?

@Framiga:

I am afraid that is not an option because in order to do that I need to enable MapRom as well (otherwise SCSIPatch is ghosted) and if you enable MapRom with CSPPC, then BlizKick doesn't work. :-(
