ABSTRACT:
A computer system includes a housing having a slot of a defined footprint area. A pair of inserts are provided. One of the inserts is a shroudless CD drive insert selectively insertable in the slot for operably driving a CD ROM disc. The other of the inserts is a standard floppy drive insert selectively insertable in the slot for operably driving a floppy disc. Each insert has substantially the same footprint area as the slot and as each other. The footprint area is sized to receive the standard floppy drive insert. The CD ROM drive insert is shroudless and is insertable in the slot for driving a larger size storage media than the floppy insert.
