Abstract
A tape drive for accommodating tape cartridges of different sizes and capacities is provided with a drive mouth and a movable door opening mechanism within the drive mouth. The movable door opening mechanism opens a cartridge door of a tape cartridge as it is inserted into the drive mouth. The movable door opening mechanism remains in a first position during initial insertion of a tape cartridge until the cartridge door of the tape cartridge is open, and moves to a second position during further insertion of the tape cartridge to accommodate that tape cartridge within the drive mouth.
