nghiem@emx.utexas.edu quoted me on the comment I made on Quantum saying most of their drives were side mounted. What I ment by this was...of the drives they use in their own plant how are they mounted. The reply was vertically, due to the use of a stand of some sort used on MacII's and a similar device used on IBMpc's. Quantum makes the HardCard which is an internally mounted hard drive for MSDOS equipement. I should calify that the engineering manager did say that the prefered orientation is horizonal but...they and everyone elese uses it vertically and the design has now real reason built in that would demand horizonal mounting. The reason horizonal is prefered is that almost all of the testing is done in that orientation. Bob Murrow Laserman@cup.portal.com
