One option for better feedback is to add indicators for floppy and hard drive activity, like the leds on the original Amigas.

Some emulators even emulate the sound of the physical fdd :)

Indeed, a disk activity indicator is actually an option now with SAE. It'll probably take a bit longer to do correctly, as it will touch more of the page than just the canvas.
