That's a lot of time I agree...
I would say it's just a matter of reviewing startup-sequence and user-startup to determine what's taking so long, but seeing how heavily modified it is, maybe you'll need to verify how everything is connected.
For example, I see the card and the CD on the back of the computer, those may be IDE and IIRC the A1200's IDE port is no good with 2 devices unless you add special hardware. I'm just guessing but wouldn't that contribute to the long startup time? :confused:
Anyway, you're in for some testing once you receive the computer.
