I've seen the floppy drive lit constantly when the cable is connected in the wrong direction (i.e. upside down). Before you reply "no, that's not possible, the cable has a tooth and the drive has a notch so that it fits only one way", please check the drive again. I have drives which have notches on both sides so that the cable fits either way even if it has a tooth as reverse protection.
Regarding the CD drive, where is it connected to? If it is connected to the Catweasel, then it might not work because the CW has shut down because of the short circuit.
In order to debug startup-sequence you can do this:
- add
set echo on
as the very first command at the top of the file. Then every command will be printed to the shell window before it is executed. You can stop the output by entering any character and continue by deleting what you've entered.
- insert
ask continue
between loadwb and endcli. Then the shell window will remain open until you press return. This way you can read error messages which appear before Workbench is loaded.
If the CD drive is not connected to the Catweasel, check Devs/DosDrivers/CD0 if it is configured correctly. First check the icon tooltypes. Make sure there are none. Then load the file into a text editor and check that Device= and Unit= point to the place the drive is connected to.
