Abstract
An apparatus for loading and unloading heads from a removable cartridge disk drive. The apparatus comprises a scissoring load ramp that has a pair of pivoting arms. Each arm has a ramped end that pivots between and open and a closed position. In the open position, the ramped ends pivot away from each other and away from the surface of the media providing sufficient space for media to fluctuate during insertion and ejection from the drive. In the closed position, the ramped ends move toward each other and the media to provide a mechanism for loading and unloading the heads to and from the media.
