Abstract
A way is provided for protecting disks used in a computer peripheral system from contamination while allowing for purging air flow through the system during operation. When no cartridge is in the system a seal is in sealing engagement around a hub in a housing of the system preventing contamination from contacting a disk in the system and preventing the clean air from leaking out of the housing. With the cartridge in the system, a seal is formed between the cartridge and the housing preventing contamination from entering into the system thus protecting disks in the system from contamination and at the same time opening passageways so that purging air may be passed through the system.
