I have a B&W G3 400 w/ a Ultra SCSI card. Ever since purchased this computer it has always taken an extremely long time to restart. Start up is normal and quick, but a restart is always very long... 4-5 minutes. Any suggestions?

Where is the delay in the restart? (While shutting down, after shutdown, when starting again?) I have a similar B&W G3 400 (384MB RAM) and it seems to start the same either way.

also important is what kind of restart are you talking about:
1) when you goto the special menu and click restart
or
2) when you have to "hard" restart it with the "reset" button.
the second choice will definately add about 1 min or more to start time as the OS typically checks out your hard drive for damage, so they say.

Are you on a network? This can add some time, and if the network is busy, it can hang for a substantial amount of time.

You can attain faster starts by going into the Memory Control Panel hold cmd-option while clicking and another option appears at the bottom of the configuration screen which allows you to turn off 'checking the memory' at startup... Just un-check this box.

Thanks for the tips so far. However, I have already disabled the memory check in the control panel. Also, it is only a long restart when the machine is started up, and I go to special, restart. A hard restart is shorter than a finder restart. And I am no longer connected to a network, so that isn't a factor. Does the fact that my start up drive is SCSI have significance?

Is the restart still long if you boot up with no extensions? How about if you boot to your original drive?

Yes. It is probably not terminated properly. Is it?
Do you have the latest firmware for your SCSI card?

i just upgraded the firmware on my adaptec 2940u2b to 1.2, which is the latest apple's TIL's indicate. As far as termination goes, it's an internal scsi drive straight from apple... why would they send me a non-terminated int. drive?
