ABSTRACT:
A caddy for adapting a mini-cartridge for use in a full-sized disk drive. The mini-cartridge is designed for use in a mini disk drive, which has dimensions and other characteristics different from a full-size disk drive. The caddy provides a mechanism for translating the size of the min-cartridge to a size suitable for use in the full-size drive. Additionally, the caddy provides a mechanism for translating rotational power from the full-size disk drive to the mini-cartridge such that a magnetic medium contained in the mini-cartridge rotates properly during use in the full-size disk drive.
