Abstract
A motor driven ejection system responsive to control signals so as to allow the insertion and/or ejection of a card under computer automatic control. The ejection system has a motor responsive to control signals to cause forward/reverse movements of the motor or render the motor stationary, so that the insertion and the ejection of a card is completely dominated by a computer and not susceptible to any operator interaction that might otherwise damage or distort information on the card.
