Hi there. I ressurrected my A1200 (8MB RAM expansion + 210MB PCMCIA Overdrive harddrive) a few weeks ago as I was getting increasingly fed up with random crashes on my PC - now just used for internet. Amazing how more relaxing using Amiga is. Forgot how good it is. Decided to jazz it up a bit and got 3.1 ROMs through eBay. Problems straight away. When I power up, the screen stays black and harddrive doesn't boot (though powers up). After about a minute the kickstart screen appears. It will boot from floppy at this point but harddrive isn't recognized despite fact it is up and spinning as soon as switched on. Tried two-mouse buttons but harddrive doesn't appear on boot list. Also, drive won't mount from floppy on Workbench. My questions are as follows: Is it normal for such a delay in booting after changing ROMs? Is is likely that I have blown the PCMCIA port whilst fitting ROMs? Do I have to re-install Workbench on harddrive after updating ROMs? Sorry for lentgh of this post! Any help would be much appreciated as I certainly don't want to return to my PC for my general computing needs!
