     Thanks to everyone who responded.  When my Imprimis Wren VI
94241-383 SCSI drive arrived, it came with a data sheet that said, "No
mounting restrictions".  I assume that this means that a vertical
orientation is OK.

     However, it did *not* come with a manual, and the dealer does not
seem to have one (I called them up, and they did not think that they had
any manuals, although they're checking to see if they do).  Does anyone
know where I can get a manual for this drive?

     This is what I've been hearing, and is what made me decide to buy
an Imprimis drive.
