I am using a Zenith Z-200 (PC-AT compatible) at work. I have seen
ads in computer supplies catalogs for stands which allow you to place
your PC on the floor, vertically. I sure could use the extra desk space
but I am concerned about the disk drives. Is it ok to operate the 
Winchester and the floppy drive on their sides like this. I would
imagine the floppy would be ok since the heads actually touch the disk
there and the tolerances are not so critical but what about the winchester?
I would really appreciate hearing from someone who knows. I would also 
appreciate hearing from anyone who has been using one of these stands for
some period. Thanx in advance. I guess I should say that I will post a 
followup if interest warrants.
