Abstract:
An apparatus for adapting media storage devices comprising:a base platform comprising:left and right edges having a height of dimension substantially equivalent to a thickness of a first substantially planar media unit;a width and depth of dimension substantially equivalent to a width and depth of the first substantially planar media unit;an upper surface; anda plurality of substantially parallel receptacles affixed to the upper surface of the base platform for receiving a second substantially planar media unit, and for stowing the second substantially planar media unit in planes substantially parallel with each other, and substantially orthogonal to the upper surface of the base platform, wherein the second substantially planar media unit has a depth and thickness that are different from the depth and thickness of the first substantially planar media unit respectively, and the receptacles further comprise and are formed by a plurality of ribs which are substantially parallel to each other and substantially orthogonal to the upper surface of the base platform, the ribs having a depth substantially similar to the depth of the second substantially planar media unit and being separated from each other by a dimension substantially similar to the thickness of the second substantially planar media unit.
