Finally got around to reconnecting the floppy drive in my machine and I can confirm that this works, as per #8:
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ATTR{removable}=="1", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0644", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0000", ATTR{events_poll_msecs}="0" (in /etc/udev/rules.d/00-teacfloppy.rules ) Constant polling stops but floppy disks can still be mounted.
