This has been roughly my experience. I have one poor thing that takes about
5 minutes, hey, it is after all, 20 years old. :) My light never goes out
that I remember though, but it does blink in faster increments up to the
point it stays steady. I have two apple ///'s with profiles that are
currently operational, allthough one comes up much faster than the other. I
think it waits for the drive to "come up to speed"

That's for cold start, when it
goes into blinking mode after a command is issued to it, I think the
blinking time is shorter.
On powering up the ProFile disk:
"The red ready light on the ProFile's front panel will come on for about 2
seconds, go off for about 20 seconds, and then start to flash for about 40
seconds while the drive runs internal tests. When the tests are
successfully completed, the light will remain on continuously without
flashing. Under some conditions the ProFile may take up to 3 minutes to
complete the startup sequence."
ok
