orientation of the laptop drives

Bonzi, also note that the platter that holds the disks is mounted at an angle: look at the two small screws at both sides of the player -- the rear-end of the platter is higher up that the front-side. This makes sense if you consider that the DIN slotes of most cars are not entirely horizontal, but slope down a little. The Empeg seems to anticipate on this, and as a result of the sloped platter, the disks should spin nearly horizontal.
