Amiga 600 slow initialize...
« on: April 06, 2009, 05:09:27 PM »
Well, I finally received my very first A600 ever today from ebay. I was so worried about it's journey from the UK to the USA, but it arrived in awesome condition.

It originally had 2.0 rom and I replaced it with a Multistart II rom switcher that contains 3.1 and 1.3 roms. The switch works fine and I can switch between OS roms, but I did have a question:

Booting into 3.1 rom seems to take some time? When I turn on the A600, it takes almost 30 seconds to display the 3.1 rom screen. Is this normal? When it comes to the 1.3 rom screen, it is as instantaneous as an Amiga 500.

I am guessing that the bootup sequence is polling for HD's or other peripherals, which is what is making it take a long time?

Hopefully someone knows if this is just normal or not. I do not know much about the A600 :)

Yes, it works fine. But of course the IDE and PCMCIA drivers are not in 1.3, so these devices are non-functional when using a 1.3 rom.
