Craig,
To quote from my MiniScribe technical reference manual:
"The drive may be mounted in any attitude."
To quote from my Conner technical reference manual:
"The drive may be mounted in any attitude."
To paraphrase from my Seagate manual (at work):
The drive may be mounted in any position except with the back
(connector) side down
I had a SupraDrive for my ST, it had a Xebec drive in it…mounted
upside down. Supra claimed the drive was certified to operate that way.
I've also got an old Sugart drive here that I ran upside down for quite a
while…although I admit that I have no idea if the drive was certified to
work that way.
Not sure why your manuals would be different than mine…but
everything I've seen lately shows that a HD can pretty much be mounted any
way you want.
Don
