If I have a startup script in a floppy disk, is there a way I can get the disk it is in? Since doing "/disk" will get me the first connected disk, it might give me a different disk if I have more than 1 disk drive.
So if I have 2+ disk drivers connected to a computer most with disks, and I insert a disk with a startup file, is there a way to know for sure which drive it was inserted in?
Of course a worst-case scenario that all the disks of drives have a startup file, so I can't just loop to check whether it has a startup file or not.
Is there a way? Or should I say, is it automatic? If I were to do a script from a startup file, would the CD already be the drive or?

You can use shell.getRunningProgram to get the absolute path of the currently running program. If that doesn't work for whatever reason, give the disk a unique label and iterate the attached disk drives looking for it with disk.getLabel(side). When the side is found, use disk.getMountPath(side) to determine which disk folder it is.

Oh I didn't think of that, thank you.
That leads me to the question, if there are multiple startup files all in disks, are they run at the same time?

Only the first one found is used. The top side has first priority. It uses the table returned by rs.getSides.
