[comp.sys.mac] Mac ][ on it's side? Hardware Problems...

c60b-cq@buddy.Berkeley.EDU (Rob Pfile) (03/17/88)

	Does anyone out there have any comments or experience with putting a
Mac ][ on it's side, such as with one of those Kensington stands? I have
heard conflicting reports as to the safety of this procedure. The question is:
Is it ok to run a hard disk on it's side?

	On a related note, my Mac ]['s power supply has burnt out twice now.
The only card I have running is Toby, the video interface. Has anyone had
problems like this one with their Mac ]['s?

	I really need to get this monster off of my desk!!

We have been running 4 Mac IIs on their sides with no problem.  Many
workstation type computers have their hard disks mounted on their sides,
rather than flat on their back.
