Glad to hear it :-)
Cold booting up time depends on several issues.
A high RPM SCSI drive often takes longer to
get up to speed than a lower spec'ed IDE drive.
Also if no IDE drive is present to the system,
the machine will pause rechecking for a late
drive on the IDE port before going on booting.
So it seems you have found a good combination.

If I remember correctly, those are the last
ones from Phase5. Install as described by
Buxey. (I believe only 68060 and 68040.dummy
are really used). This info is available on
the install disk, but on the whole Phase5 docs
are a bit thin :-/

Is your B1260 produced by DCE or is it a 2nd
hand Phase5 board?

I've never used them. As said before, have a
look at BlizKick, that's a brilliant utility
for your present setup.
