Abstract

A computer floppy drive mounting assembly is made to be slidably removable from a slide casing assembly located proximately to an open slot on the front of the computer without the use of any by allowing the drive mounting assembly to have a slotted portion near the front which fits over the edge of the open slot to hold the floppy drive in the computer and which when lifted over the edge allows easy removal of the floppy drive to provide easy access to the computer fuses inside the computer to allow them to be serviced and or replaced by the computer operator.
