An information storage device () includes a drive module () releasably coupled to an interface module (), where an information storage cartridge () can be removably inserted into the drive module in an approximately vertical direction. The drive module has a light source and magnifying lens which highlight indica located on the cartridge. Guide structure ensures that the cartridge can be inserted only with a single proper orientation. The drive module includes a display () which provides operational status information, and which is visible through an opening () provided in the interface module. The interface module has at least two ports () conforming to a selected communication protocol, to permit the information storage device to be daisy chained with other compatible devices. A button () for initiating cartridge removal is actuated in an approximately vertical direction.

A multiple interface input/output port allows communication between an interface bus of a peripheral device and any one of a plurality of different types of interface buses that may be provided in a host computer. An interface bus detection circuit detects which type of interface bus the peripheral device is connected to on the host computer, and communications are then routed through an appropriate interface adapter that enables communication between the interface buses of the peripheral device and host computer. The interface bus detection circuit compares signal levels on selected ones of the lines of the interface bus of the host computer to a reference potential to determine which of the selected lines are grounded. The circuit then identifies the type of interface bus to which it is connected based on the determination of which of the selected lines of the interface bus are grounded.

Method and apparatus are disclosed for controlling the power modes of a removable media device as well as ejecting a cartridge from the removable media device. The method comprises the steps of identifying the current mode of the device; identifying whether a cartridge is presently located in the device; upon receiving a signal from the dual function button, depending upon the current power mode and whether a cartridge is located in the device, transmitting signals to the appropriate components of the device to either eject the cartridge or power on/off various components of the media device. The apparatus comprises a single button and a microprocessor for responding to signals transmitted from the dual function button.
