An information storage device ( ) includes a cartridge ( ) which can be removably inserted into a cradle ( ) coupled by a cable ( ) to a host computer. The cartridge includes an outer housing ( ) containing a chamber ( ), and having an electrical connector ( ) on the exterior. An inner housing ( ) contains a hard disk mechanism, and is resiliently supported within the chamber by four resilient elements ( ). A flex circuit ( ) extends from the inner housing to the connector, and permits relative movement of the inner and outer housings. The resilient elements are formed by cutting a cross-shaped part ( ) from a foam sheet, cutting two square parts ( ) from a different foam sheet, adhesively laminating the outer parts to opposite sides of the center part, and then cutting the resulting assembly along two planes to form the four resilient elements.

An information storage device () includes a drive module () releasably coupled to an interface module (), where an information storage cartridge () can be removably inserted into the drive module in an approximately vertical direction. The drive module has a light source and magnifying lens which highlight indica located on the cartridge. Guide structure ensures that the cartridge can be inserted only with a single proper orientation. The drive module includes a display () which provides operational status information, and which is visible through an opening () provided in the interface module. The interface module has at least two ports () conforming to a selected communication protocol, to permit the information storage device to be daisy chained with other compatible devices. A button () for initiating cartridge removal is actuated in an approximately vertical direction.

A data storage cartridge () can be removably inserted into a drive (), so that respective connectors () move into engagement. Two pawls () are biased by a spring (), and releasably lock the cartridge in its inserted position. In order to remove the cartridge from the drive, a motorized eject mechanism () can be actuated and effects movement of an eject member (), which in turn disengages the pawls from the cartridge, moves the cartridge sufficiently to disengage the connectors, and positions the pawls for insertion of the next cartridge. If the motorized mechanism is not operable, a manual release can be effected by manually inserting a member () through an opening () provided in the drive housing, and using this member to manually move the eject member.

A data storage cartridge () can be removably inserted into a drive (), so that respective connectors () move into engagement. Two pawls () are biased by a spring (), and engage the cartridge to releasably lock the cartridge in its inserted position. In order to remove the cartridge from the drive, an eject mechanism is actuated, and includes a motorized drive mechanism () that moves an eject member (). The eject member disengages the pawls from the cartridge, effects sufficient movement of the cartridge so as to disengage the connectors, and positions the pawls so that they will properly engage the next cartridge inserted into the drive.
