Abstract
A disk drive apparatus has a cassette holder into which a disk cassette is inserted. The cassette holder is obliquely reciprocated between a cassette insert position and a cassette load position as guided by a plurality of inclined guides provided on a pair of side plates of a chassis. In ejecting the disk cassette, the cassette holder is moved directly by an eject lever against a biasing member. Accordingly, it is unnecessary to employ a slide plate for reciprocating the cassette holder.
