Abstract
A tape drive for a tape cartridge having a protective cover at one corner thereof. The tape cartridge is inserted with the protective cover on the inner end. The protective cover is opened at the back of the drive. Then, a door on the drive is closed which first causes a magnetic head to move vertically along a width of the tape to confront the type and then causes the cartridge to slide laterally into the magnetic head.
