Description

ABSTRACT:
A data cartridge drive including a front panel having a laterally elongated, substantially rectangular cartridge insert opening from which a data cartridge is inserted; and a laterally elongated, substantially rectangular lid pivotably mounted through a pair of pivotal shafts to an upper inside surface of the front panel, for openably closing the cartridge insert opening from inside of the front panel. A pair of stepped portions are formed at laterally opposite upper corner portions of the cartridge insert opening. A pair of stepped portions are formed at laterally opposite upper corner portions of the lid so as to be opposed to the pair of stepped portions of the cartridge insert opening. The lid is pivotably mounted through the pair of pivot shafts to the front panel at the pair of stepped portions of the cartridge insert opening and the pair of stepped portions of the lid. Accordingly, the height of the front panel can be set to be not greater than 1 inch and the width of the front panel can be set to not greater than 4 inches, in spite of the fact that the data cartridge drive can be used commonly for both the related art data cartridge and the large-capacity data cartridge.
