May or may not be available / practical to you but: I have one old machine still with a floppy and had that spin-up issue. The machine is an old HP and there is an option in the BIOS to 'hide (device) from OS'. The floppy was one of those 'device' options. 'Hiding' the floppy from the OS solved the problem. Of course, if I need the floppy I need to reboot and re-enable in the BIOS but that is not a frequent problem, to say the least.
