Hello,

Once uppon a time, I saw some notes on how to get rid of the startup delay in Tos 2.06.
I mean the delay that's needed for a HD to spinn up.
As I'm using Ultrasatan or a CF-card as a drive replacement, this delay is not needed and it annoys me.
And now, I'd like to find this again.
But it keeps eluding me.
Any help is appreciated.

only mod I know is the space bar..

sorry no help there. I too find it annoying though, as I have been servicing the machines the last few weeks so off and on many times,

Only person who may know is pepra I think..

Other than bashing space bar as said already, the only other way would be to patch TOS. At least as far as I am aware..
