I had my Mac IIci sitting in a vertical position next to my monitor for
a month. Just a couple days ago, my floppy drive went flakey. It would
verify disks to be OK, and then when I tried to write to them errors
popped up all over (mostly in the higher sectors). This problem occurred
for both DS/DD and HD disks.

I moved my box into the horizontal position and put it under the monitor.
Now, everything works fine. I thought that either position was acceptable.

What's going on?
