Try cleaning the contacts of the cards and the busboard (The contacts that connect to the motherboard and the zorro slots themselves)

Also reseat (sp?) the busboard maybe it has become lose (Usually only happens (rarely) if you open up your Miggy lots of times), and make sure all socketed chips on the motherboard and expansion cards are well seated.

If all else fails (offcourse do try one card at a time) remove the cyberstorm and replace it with the original CPU card if you still have it.

Well, could be that the buster is faulty, or the busboard itself... Only way to try that out is to swap those with another A4000...

None of the cards work alone in the A4000 in any slot ?

Not sure if this can be done, never tried it, but if you boot the A4000 without the busboard, and you press both mouse buttons does the Early Boot Menu appear faster ?

If it still takes 30 seconds, I guess the problem is the motherboard and then the Buster chip (Bus contoller chip as said before).. Not sure how expensive Busters are these days, but I reckon they are hard to come by nowadays...  

What reb. Buster you have inside the Amy ?

Have a look at Patrik's link, but if I had to, I send my A4000 in for repair, not dowhat's in the link myself... (Except I would replace the Buster myself and the busboard as well before sending her to a repair shop)
