Abstract
A storage rack for retaining software devices having a variety of configurations. A one-piece body is formed with a central platform having a pair of side support racks with aligned grooves for receiving an edge of a CD ROM package. A central support rack is positioned below the grooves and intermediate the side support racks such that CD ROM packages supported within the grooves of the side support racks are suspended over the central support rack. The central support rack is formed with a plurality of equally spaced dividers, with each divider having an elongated slot extending transversely along its length and on either side thereof. The elongated slots retain an edge of 31/2 inch software diskettes and PCMCIA cards whereby the CD ROM packages supported in the side support racks, and the 31/2 inch diskettes and PCMCIA cards, may be moved between a forward position and a rearward position such that a user may selectively or successively view the front surface of each software device supported in the storage rack.
