A4000 IDE/Cyberstorm SCSI Boot Scan Time
« on: August 19, 2004, 12:51:30 AM »
Any way to speed this up?  I'm not sure which is the true cause but combined they account for ~25 seconds of misery at cold boot.  My A3000 can be booted up and down twice in the same time :-).

Setup:

A4000D
40GB IDE w/SCSIDE on Cyberstorm Mk3 SCSI
Lite-On ATAPI DVD/CD-RW Combo on IDE
Iomega ATAPI Zip 250Mb on IDE

Any ideas?
Time to move on.  Bye Amiga.org.  :(

It's not even getting to the startup sequence at this point.  Once it gets through the scan it boots in less than 10 seconds.  

@patrik

Enabling SCSIPatch disables onboard IDE, which I need for my CD-ROM and ZIP drive.  

Anyone else?

I'll try it with a cartridge in.  I was under the impression that any device on the chain would speed it up, but this doesn't seem to be the case.

See above.
