A1200 Slow Boot

[save2600]

Kickstart's the only two chips you'll be reseating in an A1200.    

Never heard of anyone terminating or needing to terminate an IDE port - until now!   :lol:

Wish someone would solve an issue I've had for years on one of my A2000's with a SCSI CD-ROM. Delay is damn near 30 seconds before the computer finally boots. SCSI is terminated properly as is the CD drive and I've tried every configuration under the sun contrary to common sense, logic or not. Using an A2091 card with 7.0 ROMS too. WTF? If I keep a CD in the drive, the computer boots much faster, but not as fast as it is "supposed" to for an Amiga. I've just lived with it for years and years now. Machine still boots faster than any of my modern Mac's, iPad's or iPhones. How stupid is that?!?   :laughing:

Thanks rockape, you're a genius! Even though the unit # was 0, needed to set LastDisk to YES in the RDB. I was off on my estimate too, system used to take about 50 seconds to boot (cold), now only takes about 17 seconds cold or 12 seconds warm!   :banana:
