Which "no click" program are you using?  I have been using one for many many years now on multiple machines with multiple drives and I never hear a drive click after the program activates.

Interesting about the A500+.  My primary 500 is a + model, and NoClick works just fine.  It could be the floppy drive I have in it, too.  I have gone through so many drives over the past 15 years...

I am not sure where I found mine, though I am assuming on AmiNet since it was many years ago.  I am pretty sure it is a commodity, and will check when I get home.

Okay, I was right, it is a commodity, and it shows in Exchange with this
information:

NoClick 2.0 (C) 1996 by Timo C. Nentwig

It has a file size of 4988 bytes and a file version of "NoClick 2.0".

It looks like the matching entry at AmiNet is http://aminet.net/package/util/cdity/noclick20_usr

don't know why you posted that,my drive has three motors. the extra motor is needed to eject the floppy disk. (motorize eject system)

maybe one day it may eject via software.

it's a jrop in replacement for my A1200 desktop floppy drive.


Que?  What drive is that...?  Very interesting, indeed.
