Interesting that the drive would click like that.
No, AROS isn't crap, most PC floppy controllers are. Okay, not exactly fair, but bottom line is that PC floppy controllers are sector readers, and the Amiga floppy system is a track reading system. There are numerous FAQs online about this.
Since the Amiga is a full-track-at-once system, IIRC there are no (or very small) sector gaps. Meanwhile, on the PC there are fairly large gaps between sectors. This is partly why the PC DD format is 720k while Amiga is 880k. The PC controller looks for the gaps and cannot find them on an Amiga floppy, then gives up.
