ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an arrangement for automatically loading a floppy disc into a floppy disc drive unit, using a positioning motor that locates a magnetic head on various tracks on the floppy disc. After the floppy disc has been partly inserted in the floppy disc drive unit, the floppy disc is grasped by a gripping element disposed on a slide. The positioning motor moves the slide at the same time as the magnetic head so that the floppy disc is drawn into the floppy disc drive unit. Then the slide is locked. To eject the floppy disc, the lock is released and, guided by the positioning motor, the slide, together with the floppy disc, is partially ejected from the floppy disc drive unit.
