Kickstart 3.1 looooong boot time

[Mr_Matt]

Hi,

I've recently brought an A1200 with the ambitions of re-living my wasted teenage years with a kickass upgraded Amiga 1200 that I could never afford at the time.

I've upgraded the ROMs to v3.1 and noticed a huge difference in boot time, with v3.0 it was like 8 seconds now with the new 3.1 ROMs it is 35 seconds. Is this normal or have I purchased some dodgy ROMs??

Hi, thanks for the reply.

I'm actually about to buy a hard-drive from your site, if I have one installed and the machine finds it will this speed up the boot time?

Also, when I finally add an accelerator and more RAM will this speed up the boot process?
