    I don't know about long-term, but I've run my DuoDisk 5.25 on it's 
side several times in the past and it seems to have worked just fine. 
The reason I've done this is my Apple IIe is on a narrow desk with my 
Apple IIc beside it, so when I need to run it with the top off (testing 
cards or whatnot) I just flip the DuoDisk and place it in the narrow 
space in-between the machines.
