What's the best way to get rid of FDD Click?

1. Get rid of your DF0: floppy

2. Get one of these:

Lastly, you can always connect a real floppy drive to the external connector and install floppy stuff when needed.

@TheGoose: Your last suggestion is best, I think.... I'd LOVE to ditch floppies for good... but really, if my HDD dies, It's still a nightmare to get to a working (CD-enabled) OS 3.9 system even with a special boot floppy... Sure, it may work with a CF card, but please try it on your system first. Also, don't all CF cards have limited write cycles?? I dunno, but as long as floppies work for me, and I have disks... I'll keep using them as needed

Well, I do agree, re-doing an Amiga without a floppy is a pain if not next to impossible. But you know, I've wanted to try to put all the 3.1 disks on to a CF card that one could boot from? Wouldn't that be really cool, and have some assigns: setup to handle the "Disk Labels" ...

If I format a CF card with FAT 16 and set it to be bootable, will that work?

Hmmm.


Oh, and I have installed OS 3.9 from a CF/PCMCIA card setup, it will work...

No, that wont work. I was thinking about early start-up screen. Where you do have an option to boot from a HD formatted memory card? - in PCMCIA slot. That has been my hope to escape from floppy island.

More simply put, how can we boot from the PCMCIA port? What are the options? All of this of course is to eliminate the floppy for good; MUUHHHAHAHA.
