Amiga 1200 floppy drive "clicking" sound

[rabindranath72]

Hi all,
I have recently acquired an Amiga 1200 thanks to Petro; I have been "feeling" my way around the system, as I have never had an Amiga before. So, everything seems to be perfect, except for a constant "clicking" sound that the floppy drive emits when no floppies are inside; it gives me the idea it's polling for a disk, because the sound stops when I put a disk in the floppy. Is this normal? If so, is there a way to stop it? I love the system because it's noiseless, but that constant "click click" is driving me nuts (and I don't want to always keep a floppy inside, if possible!) :pissed:

Thanks,
Antonio

I should have known better to post AFTER googleing for a solution :p

So it seems there are quite a few patches, has anybody tried NoClick with these A1200? (They are Escom A1200, Kickstart/WB 3.1)

Thanks!
Antonio
