ABSTRACT:
A front panel for a magazine-loading DAT drive assembly having a tape cassette drive unit above a magazine receiving area is provided with two hinged doors. By orienting two pairs of abutments in opposite directions and positioning two springs such that they exert opposite torques on their respective pairs of abutments, the door will be biased to its closed position regardless of whether it has been swung in one direction to its loading position, or in the other direction to its unloading position.
