vertically-mounted floppies

[david.e.wexelblat]

What is peoples' opinion of vertically-mounted floppy drives these days?
In days of yore, most drives were vertical, but for the last 10 years or so,
all floppies I have seen have been mounted horizontally.

The reason I am asking is that I am planning on adding a 3.5" drive to my
3b1.  Jameco sells a cabinet, with power supply and cabling, for 2 half-height
drives (mounted vertically).  I was thinking about putting the existing
5.25" and the new 3.5" drive in the same cabinet, and mounting the drive-select
switch on the cabinet.

Please email your responses.  If anyone else gives a hoot, I will summarize
to the net.
