Abstract

A slide rail for mounting internal devices, such as floppy disks and hard disks inside a computer case. The slide rail includes a biased mounting post which mates with matching mounting holes on opposite sides of the internal device. As the internal device is slid inside the computer case, the biased mounting posts protrude into the mounting holes of the internal device to reversibly affix the internal device to the computer case.
