Early-menu ( two mouse buttons pressed during Amiga startup)
Unplug the original floppy drive and the cable from the Amiga motherboard. Write whether additional floppy disk stations are still visible in WB. |

The ready signal is held low by some device on the floppy bus or the CIA chip that handles this signal has the signal stuck low internally.
