Re: IIGS startup pause?

I'm having similar problems with my Focus 500Mb drive in Slot 7. BTW I have
bootup slot = scan, which starts from slot 7 and works down, therefore it
should find the HDD first.
It seems that after the GS warms up it'll re-boot more easily, even after
powering down. But the next day, back to it's old tricks.
A couple of things I do to "fix" it is to remove and re-seat the HDD or the
Ram card, which in my case is a Sirius 8Mb.

I think the problem is the HDD itself, corrupted blocks, but it usually
passes a disk-verify, so I'm at a loss. My other theory is that the Slot 7
I/O slot needs resoldering on the motherboard, perhaps a few pins are not
100%.
