A disk drive mounting system for isolating a disk drive assembly from machine vibration and shock. In one embodiment, the system includes a suspension frame and a disk drive assembly mounted to the frame using biased vibration isolation members, such as springs, which are each substantially aligned through the center of mass of the disk drive assembly. Accordingly, vibrational forces can be transmitted through the center of mass of the disk drive assembly. Preferably, the disk drive assembly includes a mounting chassis which holds a hard disk drive and includes openings through which damping bumpers can extend. In this embodiment, the bumpers each have a base portion and an extension portion, the extension portion extending through the openings in the mounting chassis to limit the transfer of shock to the disk drive. The bumpers can be attached to the suspension frame and/or to a protective cover for the assembly. Preferably, a slide bracket is provided to allow the system to be easily mounted to a machine tool system surface.

An apparatus for interconnection of two personal computer style processor printed circuit boards comprises a bridge printed circuit board having edge connectors on opposing edges thereof and support member for supporting the processor printed circuit boards in facing parallel arrangement with each edge connector of the bridge printed circuit board engaged in a mating socket on one of the processor boards. The support member advantageously provides pivotable support of at least one of the processor boards to permit insertion and removal of an edge connector of the bridge board into and from the mating socket of a processor board. The support member further advantageously comprises an enclosure and the pivotable support advantageously comprises a support bracket having notched end panels for engagement with pivot pins fixed to opposing surfaces of the enclosure.
