Hard disc drives for desktop computers are standardly available in two different sizes. A mounting tray is provided enabling the mounting of either size of unit in the same space without the need for different mounting pieces. The mounting tray includes two stepped side members provided with studs for engaging side fixing holes in the drive units. The positioning of the studs is such that the volumes occupied by the mounted units overlap to a large extent. The side members are joined by a flexible member that allows the side members to be flexed out of a normal oppositely-facing configuration for engagement about either of the drive units.

[ We claim:] [1.] A mounting arrangement for mounting at different times either of two differently-sized subsystem units in a common volume, said mounting arrangement comprasing:a first subsystem unit;a second subsystem unit that is larger than said first subsystem unit;two mounting members for engaging respective opposite sides of a subsystem unit, each mounting member having first engagement means for engaging said second subsystem unit and second engagememt means for engaging said first subsystem unit, at least one said mounting member being formed by a first wall element and a second wall element, separated by a step therebetween, a second said mounting member having at least a third wall element and a fourth wall element, said first engagement means associated with said first wall element and third wall element and said second engagement means associated with said second wall element and fourth wall element, said step causing a spacing of the first engagement means by a distance greater than a spacing between the second engagement means, such that said first and second engagement means are positioned to respectively mount either said second subsystem unit or said first subsystem unit in a substantially common volume encompassed between said first through fourth wall elements, but not to mount both said first subsystem unit and second subsystem unit at a same time in said common volume due to a positioning of at least a portion of each thereof in an interfering position with a mounted position of the other; anda support structure for supporting said mounting members.
