SSD/DOM boot problem
Hello
I',m having trouble booting into Workbench from my SSD/DOM. It is a 4 GB Kingspec with Classic Workbench 68k installed. Often when I cold start or soft reboot I only see the bootscreen/insert disk screen. If I use c+a+a 1-3 times the SSD/DOM starts and loads into Workbench. Other than this the computer works fine. I have tried using the same setup but with a CF-card and it always boots fine. My guess is that the SSD/DOM is too fast for the Amiga? Could this be the reason? Is it possible to delay the SSD/DOM activation at start? My setup is: Amiga500+ Wicher 500i accelerator (50 mhz, 1,5 mb chipram, 8 mb fastram) 4 gb Kingspec DOM with Classic Workbench 68k. |

I think you mean the Amiga is too fast for the SSD as it's not ready to boot from when the Amiga looks for it.

When the DOM tries to boot the Amiga is not completely ready, then the boot process fails. I happens on ACA-acceleators using maprom function. It is solved by adding a command that lets the Amiga recover before the HD tries to boot. |

A modern pc still does its POST slower than an old Amiga.

Kickstart 3.1 has a longer delay while waiting for drives to get ready - maybe that's a solution?
