The same problem in Ubuntu 17.10 (updated from previuos version). I tried to stop some systemd services, remove kernel modules, kill some processes and unmount some filesystems. There are output of lsmod, ps, mount (executed after stopping, removing modules and so on) below. The problem was not solved.

The same behaviour takes place if I connect the drive with a floppy and then remove the floppy. It seems that the system accesses the drive permanently when there is no floppy. Under Windows XP it works normally - when there is no floppy, the LED and engine are switched off. I have tried Ubuntu 14.10 (amd64) with upstart, LXQt and KDE 5; Ubuntu 15.04 with systemd, LXQt - the same behaviour. If I boot using bash as init (init=/bin/bash) and connect the floppy drive after boot, the engine is off (the normal behaviour). lsof /dev/sdb during engine running outputs nothing.
