No Startup Sound on Initialization about moppy2

Alrighty, so sounds like two separate issues.

First, the startup sound. There's plenty to double-check here, and a picture or diagram of your wiring might help us troubleshoot, but some stuff to check first:

• Is there a ground-connection between at least one of the floppy drive's odd numbered pins and the GND pin on the Arduino?
• Confirm that you have the STEP pin (pin 20) connected to Arduino's pin 2, and DIRECTION (pin 18) connected to Arduino's pin 3.
• Make sure you don't have the even and odd pins on the floppy mixed up-- some floppy drives have their pins upside down). If you tested the stepper by connecting pins to an external ground, then you've confirmed you have the correct ones (if you just connected the pin to its matching pin across the connector, they might still be backward)
• When you upload the sketch from the Arduino IDE, double-check that there are no error messages in the output (the Arduino IDE likes to fail silently and then report "Upload finished" even if it didn't work)

The first step should probably be to get the startup sound working, since if that bit doesn't work it's unlikely the rest will, but just in case:

Instead of double-clicking the .bat file, open a command prompt in the folder with the .bat file, and execute it from the command line. This way any output/error messages from the .bat commands will stay visible long enough for you to see them.

Alternatively, there might be some error output in the log file, but that will only be there if the .bat file succeeded in launching the GUI at all, which it's not immediately clear if it did.
