Floppy drive sounds in MartyPC 0.4.2! Here no disk is actually in the drive - what you're hearing is the stepper motor seeking during POST in GLaBIOS. Why does the BIOS seek the drive on startup? It's trying to determine what types of floppy drive are present. If it can successfully seek past track 40, it knows it is not a standard 360K DD disk drive. #retrocomputing #emulation
