HELP: Problem with Apple][e Duo disk drive

[hzt633@elec.mid.gmeds.com (Mark Hoinka)]

Could someone please help.

I have an Apple][e with a duo disk drive.  The problem is mainly
the first(boot-up) drive.  It turns on whenever it wants, and makes
clicking sounds too.  If disks are left in there, before not to long,
they don't work anymore!  I have been using a special boot-up disk
that I made that would switch to the 2nd drive to boot.  The second drive
was working fine, but now I'm not to sure.  

A long time ago I heard mention that this was a common problem
with the Duo disk drives, and that it was caused by a faulty
chip.  My question is:  Did anyone else experience this,
and if so, what is the best way to fix it?  I'm hoping a chip
replacement will do it.  I don't want to buy another drive.

Thanks,
