If you decide to put it on its side for any extended amount of time, you should reformat the drive with the Se/30 on its side to ensure read/write integrity. Chuck c.dubuque@dartmouth.edu

I wouldn't recommend this myself, not because of the drive but because of cooling problems. Not having an SE/30, I don't know if it has a fan, but even if it does it sounds like your space is so tight you couldn't get proper air flow through the Mac. Cheers
