    Can a slot load DVD/CD-ROM be operated upside down?

    I searched and couldn't find any info.

    I know some of them can be used vertically, but I want to mount my case upside-down to the top of my trunk, and I was wondering if I need to flip my slot load DVD to stay right side up.

    I've got a panasonic DVD/CDRW. From www.newegg.com ~$76.

    Can't you just mount the drive upside-down in the case then, when you mount the case upside-down the drive will be rightside-up?

    I would say mount it upside-down in the case, you will probably have better chances of no skipping.
