[comp.sys.atari.st] Floppy troubles

I am having several problems with my (DS internal) floppy drive. It
seems that if I don't access the drive for several minutes it
stops working. For example, if I double click on a folder the
file listing becomes corrupt (the disk does not spin). If I
pop the disk out and replace it, it works fine (unless I don't
access it for awhile). I ran VKILLER 2.2 on my boot disk, no
virus. By the way I have a z-time clock chip installed under
one of the roms (ver. 1.2) with software in the auto folder to drive
it.
Also, when I pop a disk out of the floppy drive the button pops
out as if there is a disk still in it. In order to put in another
disk I have to hold the eject button in until the disk is inserted.
How can I fix this!
Thank in advance
