I have tried two different programs to stop the clicking. One of
them, (no click, or something like that, I think) stopped the
internal drive from clicking, but generated a nasty noise from
my CA-880 external drive. Now, at tis moment, I am using a 
program called tracksalve, that I found ftping (Maybe at ab20...
I don't remember). It has several advantages... In addition to
stopping the clicking, it is more CPU-conservative than is the
original trackdisk.device (Which I understand it replaces.)
It works great on my system... very stable. Running it on:
3 megs, b2000, 1 internal drive, 1 external, and the flicker-dealy.
If no one knows where it can be found, mail me in a couple of
days, and I'll take the time to uuencode it and post it. I'm forced
to upload using kermit, and it is DREADFULLY slow. If anyone
can post where it can be found, that would save me some connect
time. Good luck; hope it helps. If you have specific Q's about it,
feel fre to mail me. (everyone else seems to. ;-P
