Abstract: A removable cartridge (200) having a housing (202, 204) and a recess formed therein in which is located a tang (208) of a cartridge mounting mechanism. The cartridge mounting mechanism provides for positioning of a disk assembly (220, 226) located within the removable cartridge (200) over a spindle motor (54) for mounting thereto. By recessing the tang (208) of the mounting mechanism, the overall height of the cartridge (200) is reduced. The removable cartridge (200) also includes a specially configured slot (256) for enhanced positioning of the removable cartridge relative to a disk drive.

Abstract: A disk drive (30) for receiving a removable cartridge (200) having a recess (266, 270) formed in an exterior surface thereof, and an engaging surface of the disk assembly mounting mechanism (56) is located in that recession. The drive possesses a handle (58) having a lever (70) which extends into the recess to contact the engaging surface of the disk assembly mounting mechanism, whereby further movement of the handle causes the mounting mechanism to move in such a manner that a disk assembly within the removable cartridge is positioned over a spindle motor (54) of the drive for mounting thereto. Other features such as position sensors and enhanced cartridge positioning mechanisms are also provided.

Abstract: A disc drive 20 includes a tray assembly 34 for positively seating and locking a cartridge 21 onto a spindle motor 82. The drive 20 includes heads 108, 110 mounted on a radial arm voice coil actuator assembly 112 and appropriate mechanisms including the arm control assembly 126 and the ratchet 124 and pawl projection 170 to ensure that the heads 108, 110 are properly loaded onto the disc 90 and that the cartridge 21 insertion and ejection process does not cause damage to the heads 108, 110 or the disc 90 contained in the cartridge 21. Further the drive 20 includes controls such as the cartridge load lever 32 and the release button 30 which are not exposed and cannot be accidentally tripped during data transfer operations.
