Atari 800XL delay in bootup sequence

[unbibium]

So I bought a 32-in-1 WarpOS upgrade from AtariMAX, and installed it in a working Atari 800XL

 

It works fine, mostly -- sometimes the machine doesn't boot, it goes to a pink screen and maybe a beep... but eventually it starts up.

 

But when it does start up, I notice that if I don't have anything plugged in, after it makes the three "device not found" raspberry sounds, it pauses for about 2 seconds before displaying the READY prompt or going to self-test.

 

it didn't do this before. what could be causing it?

 

i'd like to make sure it's not serious before I buy a 256k upgrade for it

Are you booting to the default XL OS, or a different version? Different OS versions will behave differently on boot.

It could be a timing issue. I have a 1200XL that did similar things with 32 in 1, but works fine with U1M.

 

U1M and UFLASH is by far the best solution for multiple OS, and much more.
