So after thinking a bit, I thought to my self what would happen if I took my ST drive and plugged it to a PC. I pulled out an old pentium PC I have, didn't really hook it up just pulled off the side and plugged in the ST drive and guess what, it would at least keep running and spinning the drive. If I unplugged the data cable it would act just like it did in the ST. This definitely leads me to believe the fault is with the ST itself.
I did look things over on the ST and noticed a small area around the 1,2,3 and 4 pins of the board side of Floppy connector has some solder mask scratched off and a couple of the pins were blobbed together a bit but it shouldn't make a difference, those pins aren't connected or just to ground.
