  Does anyone know if the SyQuest drive can be installed vertically?  Most
hard drives can be installed this way without problems (I've had my system
on it's side for over a year with no problems.)  I just added a SyQuest 
drive to my system and wanted to make sure it would be safe to keep it in
this orientation (currently I have it horizontal, I'd like to reclaim the desk
space. ;->)
  Also, has anyone had any problems with the drive?  Norton has been
giving me problems (NDD won't run at all).  The drive also crashed
several times after I first installed it (luckily I was able to restore
most of it), though I have not had any problems lately.  I don't know if
this is because I have
a RLL drive in my system (Seagate 138-R, used as the primary drive, with
an Adaptec HDD/FDD RLL controller, the SyQuest uses a ST-01 SCSI
controller)
  Hopefully these problems can be easily solved, I'd hate to have to return
the drive. (Although HDI did drop the price right after I ordered it. :-< )
