RE: HP-71B Startup Time - ROM Differences
Thanks Jose and Sylvain for additional suggestions.

This morning, the 71 had another slow start, so here's the next few things I will try, in order:
  • Replace actual Loop with single (loopback) cable
  • Remove HPIL Module
  • Remove SHOWPORT LEX file and Forth41 ROM
  • Remove all BASIC Programs
  • Do INIT:3 to wipe RAM
  • Remove RAM modules
  • Not open the case and fiddle w/Hardware (I'd rather start slow than possibly harm inside)

I just wish I didn't have to wait so long (seems like 4-hours is the likely inflection point) between tests.
