    I've heard that programs (such as NoClick) which stop the clicking of the
drives (by stepping the heads in the negative direction from track 0 instead
of stepping them between tracks 0 and 1) may damage drives with which this
trick doesn't work (such as the A1010). This may be why Commodore left the
clicking in.
