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.

L'invention concerne une unité de disque (30) conçue pour recevoir une cartouche amovible (200), ayant un dégagement (266,270) formé dans sa surface extérieure, une surface de contact du mécanisme (56) de montage de l'ensemble disque étant située dans ce dégagement. L'unité comporte un bras (58) muni d'un levier (70) qui s'étend dans le dégagement pour venir au contact de la surface de contact du mécanisme de montage de l'ensemble disque. De cette manière, un mouvement ultérieur du bras provoque un déplacement du mécanisme de montage de telle sorte qu'un ensemble disque soit positionné dans la cartouche amovible, sur l'axe (54) du moteur de l'unité. D'autres particularités, telles que des détecteurs de position et des mécanismes pour améliorer le positionnement de la cartouche, sont également décrites.
