Well my computer does wait LESS than 10 seconds (haven't cared to time it yet),
and then continues booting without me having to touch the keyboard...
Now, if it waits the 90/60 seconds after "sensing" that there is a harddrive
attached, that's something I don't know...

I was told by a friend with an STe that the delay was for the harddrive,
So I mentioned it...

Oh, I'm glad we are hearing from Atari again! (Someone AT Atari I mean!)
