Tony,
it took me 18 seconds from the C:> prompt in A2386SX bridgeboard to bring
up Windows 3.1 until the hourglass cursor appeared and some more 6 seconds
to bring up the programm manager and two group windows. Ready for use then
after 24 seconds.
The real long time is to bring up the PC itself. A warm boot on the BB
side costs me 39 seconds from Ctl-Alt-Del to the C:> prompt.
For a cold boot I will take the time next time I have to reset everything
and then report.
This system is Amiga 2000 (with A2620 board – 68030 inside), ECS; 40 MB
hard disk and 88 MB SyQuest and CD-ROM on GPI SCSI; 6 MB ram; NEC
Multisync 3D with flickerfixer per manual switch connected to the VGA card
on the PC-side;
PC part: A2386SX, 5 MB, 100 MB IDE Harddisk.
I am running at 32 buffers for each of the 3 partitions I have on the
Amiga side. But I am not using virtual PC Drives on the Amiga harddrive (=
no ABoot nor JLINK).- Also I am running DRDOS 6.0 with SSTORE (i.e.
similar to DoubleSpace) and SuperPCKwik.
