ABSTRACT:
A system for restricting insertion removable disk drives in a computer to identified disk drives, having female connectors in the computer and male connectors on the disk drive. Each male connector has engaging members in recessed slots between conductive surfaces. Each female connector has spring-loaded contact members which are adapted to be engaged by the engaging embers. Each contact member has a first conductive area on one side which comes in electrical contact with a conductive surface of a male connector, and a second conductive area on an opposite side which is in electrical contact with the first conductive area. Contact connectors in the female connector are in continuous electrical connection to the computer. When an identified disk drive is inserted, the contact members are pushed back a predetermined distance so as to establish electrical contact between contact connectors and the second conductive areas.
