Yes.

Thanks, yes, it does fix it.

Why it works without the floppy in Hatari 1.6.2?


I guess this relates to the "LED with empty floppy drives"
discussion...

My personal opinion is that if there are different kinds of drives
and their behavior, I would (at least by default) select emulating
the one which makes things (like Puzznic) more likely to work and
meets people's expectation (LED turns off when there's no floppy).
