2. The Amiga needs approx. 35 seconds from powering on until the boot  menu (the one with the hand & disk) shows up. My Amiga 1200 does the same within 1-2 seconds. Is this  normal for A4000's ?


I believe the delay is normal due to a 30 second wait for IDE devices.   You can buy IDE terminators from AmigaKit to eliminate this delay.

on my A4000 if I don't have anything connected to the IDE port I get this delay.
