A4000T booting delay issues
« on: April 28, 2006, 09:07:07 PM »
Hi,
I've recently got an A4000T, but it hadn't the manual book.

The thing is, it take ages to boot. There is a CPPC board fitted and I'm using it's SCSI interface, but the Amiga onboard SCSI interface have neither devices or a terminator attached. Can I disable the onboard A4000T SCSI interface?

Do the A4000T have an IDE interface? Do it suffers from the same problem as the A4000D one? Should I plug some devices to hurry the things up?

thanks in advance.

Thank you guys for your replies.

Right now, i have a harddrive and a CDRom attached to the Cyberstorm PPC SCSI Interface. The CDRom is ID 3 and the harddrive is ID 1. Also i have a harddrive attached to the A4000T´s motherboard SCSI interface, wich is ID 4.

And there´s an IDE HD plugged to the IDE interface.

After plugging drives to all the interfaces, the booting time is significantly quicker, but there´s still a big delay.

The Amiga stays idle for about a minute and a half every time i boot the machine. Even when i cold boot, and the Blizkick and Setpatch needs to reboot to apply the patches.

All the unused SCSI IDs are disabled on the CPPC firmware, so the delay is not fom there.

As the IDE interface has a drive as well, i think the only possible cause id the motherboard´s SCSI interface, that´s looking for more devices in the SCSI chain.

I would like to know if there´s some configuration menu where i can disable all the devices IDs that are not in use, as i do in the CPPC firmware, but for the motherboard´s SCSI interface ?

Oh, yeah . . . all the SCSI devices are corectly configurated, and i have proper termination as well.

If someone have the A4000T manual in electronic format (PDF or whatever), or can supply me with a copy, please let me know.

Best Regards.
