This is very interesting. I have almost exclusivly been told that mounting the drive vertically is necessary. I am very interested in knowing what types of problems a suspension would present. As long as it dosent bottom out, it seems to be it could only be beneficial. Even if it didnt flex more than a half an inch, it would lower the forces down to acceptable levels. Most drives can take around 50 G's, and that acceleration is sustainable for only a millisecond or two on a very rigid surface. It seems that with tight rubberbands or stiff springs, it would work well.
