摘要

REDUCED HEIGHT MINICARTRIDGE TAPE DRIVE FOR THREE AND ONE-HALF INCH FORM FACTOR A reduced height three and one-half inch form factor tape drive has a bi-stable feel loading mechanism for the industry standard (DC2000) minicartridge, a horizontally moveable spring biased sub-frame which carries the capstan drive roller and drive motor and eliminates inaccurate belt tension adjustments, and a reciprocable read/write head support mechanism including a single rigid sub-base tilted via screw assemblies for independent azimuth and zenith adjustment.
