I think it depends on the floppys quality.
It's when the floppy is changing tracks on the floppy it's then it "squeaks".

The best thing is to buy a cheap pc DD floppy and if you do you need to flipp two wires, don't remember witch one to flipp but thats easy to find out.


I did use a hammer to demolish my old one and then I "found" a new one and used it ever since.

Sorry I ment the drive "squeks" when it changes tracks on the floppy disk.

But it can be the floppy also, but that's rare it only happens on bad floppys that has encounterd physical interference.

Or maybe invent a autorepair button for diskdrives ;-)
