No, you don´t blow anything if put the cable in wrong way.

But the floppy unit of yours is going brain dead soon. Consistently errors in same location in any floppy disk means mechanical problems. Buy (or convert a peecee) new one.

Could be old caps in the mobo. They don't leak, but if not working you could have some misbeheaving. Look the caps near the processor and Agnus.

not the small ones, the electrolitic ones. Change the video ones too (security measure, I have some trouble with them, here).
