ABSTRACT:
A computer system includes an exterior casing having an opening therein to permit user access to peripheral devices, such as floppy drives, CD ROM drives, tape drives, or optical drives. A door driven by a reversible motor slides along the exterior casing to open and close the opening in the exterior casing. A user may activate a sensor provided on the exterior casing to selectively open or close the door. The sensor may be a light-sensitive sensor, a voice-activated sensor, or a proximity sensor. Alternatively or in addition, the user may open and close the door via a system processor, for example, by entering commands via a keyboard. The door may slide along tracks within the exterior casing. In addition, the door may be locked in a closed position and unlocked to allow opening.
