  • Multifunction disk chassis having audio/video buses for exclusively transmitting audio/video material and plurality of edge connector pairs for connecting with plurality of hard disk drives
    Patent number: 5640606
    Abstract: A dual bus, multi-function disk chassis is provided for use as an enclosure for hard disk drives that store audio or video. The chassis allows configuration of the disk drives for either one of two independent buses contained within the chassis without the need to re-cable any of the bus connections. These two buses are an audio bus for transmitting audio material and a video bus for transmitting video material. The chassis also contains multiple sets of edge connector pairs. Each of the edge connector pairs consists of a first edge connector for connection to the video bus and a second edge connector for connection to the audio bus. This arrangement allows the disk drives to be configured for audio or video storage depending on the orientation of the drive at insertion.
