   For what it's worth, I formatted the drive of my IIcx flat and ran it that
way for a year.  Then I ran out of desk space (don't we all) and I tipped it
onto the side.  That was a year ago and I haven't had any problem.

   I don't say this is safe.  If the mfg says reformat, I'm not saying not to.
I'm just saying it's working for me.
