We are currently trying to configure a new hardware solution for running SQL Server 2000 in a clustered environment with a SAN. I have been unable to get a good answer regarding the location of the Quorum disk. Can the Quorum disk be on the same physical disk (spindle) as the transaction logs as long as they are seperated in the SAN on seperate logical volumes?

All input would be very much appreciated!

Yes, as long as you have two different logical drives.
If it's a good design, well it's another question.

Keep the quorum as small as possible (500MB) and on dedicated spindle(s).
One volume per DB, another one for the Log, a third one for DB dumps can make sense (under certain circumstances)
