Since the device detection changes in 6.34, whenever my Kindle2 is connected, Calibre causes attempted "A:\" drive accesses about once a second. It doesn't stop until I eject and then disconnect the Kindle or exit Calibre.

Installing Kovid's patched 6.34 version linked to in this thread does indeed fix the problem with only one or two floppy accesses during detection and then it stops.
Seems it is not limited to the Kindle

I just connected my Astak Pocket EZ and the floppy started the "seek noise" at or near the end of the PEz library scan.
Using Calibre's "Eject" did not stop the noise. I had to detach the USB cable from my PEz.
