  11. I'm having problems booting with my A4000 with a quad speed cd-rom drive,
  12. mainly because the cdrom doesn't spin up fast enough for the computer to
  13. recongnise it in time.
  14.  
  15. I was wondering if there was a way of 'fooling' the computer to think the
  16. drive was ready, by cutting a line or something, during boot.
  17.  
  18. I know that 3.1 fixes this, but it's too expansive, and the 2 to 4 drive IDE
  19. adapter doesn't seem to be easily available.
  20.  
  21. Any suggestions would be appriciated...
