ABSTRACT:
A tilt device for tilting a disk drive unit by approximately 5.degree. to 10.degree. to facilitate the loading and unloading of disks has an opened position to expose a slot in the front of the drive unit for receiving a disk and a closed position in which the drive unit is completely enclosed within the tilt device to minimize dust and debris from collecting on the drive unit. The disk drive unit is mounted to the underside of a lid pivotably attached to a chassis of the tilt device and tilts along with the lid when the tilt device is opened. Power is available to the disk drive unit only when the tilt device is tilted open in order to prevent the drive unit from overheating.
