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.
