- Well I have worked with about 10 Amiga 1200's here in town and
- they sometimes don't bootup from a cold boot. The hard drives
- are too slow at starting so the system doesn't recognize it.
- The Amiga 1200 then goes on merrily asking you to put in a
- floppy for bootup and the hard drive, late like usual sits there
- waiting for you to do a warm reboot!?!
-
- Is there a simple way to tell the Amiga 1200 to wait an extra,
- (who cares) say 15 seconds?
- or just keep polling for the HD.
- It's extremely frustrating to have to do soft reboots,
- esspecially when there are no keyboards attached.
