I have been using my A1200 with a type II compact flash card. Its got Apollo 68040 at 40 mhz and 32 meg ram. When I cold boot-no kidding- it takes 5 seconds. This with MUI, magic Menu, toolsdaemon, click to front, toolmanager, executive, DOpus4 installed.
I thought i'd try with a bare bones 3.1 installation on 40 meg connor hard drive: it took 8 seconds. I always thought the A1200 interface was slow, but really it was the hard drive holding it back.
The question is If i use a type III compact flash will it boot faster still?
