Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a necessary desktop space by connecting one of both end parts of a multi-conductor cable to a media console with the other end part connected to a system unit respectively. SOLUTION: A computer 10 includes a media console 16 which is connected to a system unit/processor 18 via a multi-conductor flexible cable 20. The console 16 includes a floppy disk drive 22, a CD-ROM drive 24, a power ON/OFF switch 26, a status indicator 28 and an input device port and can be set on a desk placed near a monitor 12. The system unit 18 contains all bulky component elements which produce the sounds with high power and has no need to have a dialog with its user and can be set under the desk. Then a drive bay housing 30 containing both drives 22 and 24 moves between its opened and closed positions.

Abstract: Disclosed is a personal computer system that includes a media console coupled to a system unit with a multi-conductor cable. The media console contains a direct access storage device (e.g., floppy disk drive) having an opening for receiving a removable storage medium. The system unit is separate from the media console and includes a microprocessor coupled to a first bus, a non-volatile storage device coupled to the first bus and a power supply for supplying power to the the system. The multi-conductor cable has one end coupled to the media console and another end coupled to the system unit for electrically connecting devices in the media console to devices in the system unit.
