Well, it worked for a while, then yesterday I tried to boot it up and the df0: won't read any disks, not even Kickstart. The drive just keeps making clicking sounds.

Having not been used for so long I expect some dust and rubbish has got into the drive and the use of the drive has collected this rubbish up in the drive and now blocked the read write head. You should be able to clean it with some alcohol and cotton buds. Or if you can find one you could try a floppy drive head cleaner.
If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!
