A cartridge for a disk drive has a rigid shell with a keying ear (22) and two keying grooves (24, 25). The keying ear is located on the rounded front at one corner between the top and bottom surfaces of the cartridge shell. The ear cooperates with a projection located in the drive along the drive receiving slot. The keying grooves are along the top and bottom edges of one side of the cartridge. These groves mate with projections on the cartridge receiving slot in the drive. One of the grooves extends deeper into one planar surface of the cartridge than the other groove. Both keys prevent insertion of the cartridge with any other orientation of the cartridge than the correct orientation.
L'invention concerne une cartouche d'unité de disques comprenant une enveloppe rigide pourvue d'un ergot de clavetage (22) et de deux rainures de clavetage (24, 25). L'ergot de clavetage est situé sur l'avant arrondi, dans un coin entre les surfaces supérieure et inférieure de l'enveloppe de la cartouche. L'ergot coopère avec une saillie située dans l'unité de disques le long de la fente d'introduction du disque. Les rainures de clavetage se trouvent le long des bords supérieur et inférieur d'un côté de la cartouche. Ces rainures correspondent aux saillies de la fente recevant la cartouche dans l'unité de disques. L'une de ces rainures est plus profonde que l'autre dans l'une des surfaces planaires de la cartouche. Ces deux dispositifs de clavetage permettent d'éviter toute introduction de la cartouche selon une orientation autre que l'orientation appropriée.
