Slow boot. Switch machine on. No disk in drive and takes way too long for the disk request to appear on the screen. If I boot with a standard OS3 Amiga Workbench disk you wait a very long time for the drive to kick into gear and fire up the OS.

There is no hard drive. There is only a Power Computing RAM board with 4MB RAM. From my experience the computer is taking way too long to kick in with the boot. Just sits there waiting for some reason.

Stock Amiga 1200. Other than that works like a dream. Once it gets to the boot process the drive clicks in and then without disk clicks regularly. You can put a floppy in the drive at that point and will be recognised straight away.

This has nothing to do with software from media. Its a hardware issue or maybe the card and I guess that is what I will do today. Remove and see. Plus check the motherboard over. I don't really like to mess too much when I have machines working. Playing Uridium and running like a dream.


Put in a harddisk. It'll go much faster then.

That happens when you're hoarding  so much Amiga's...
