ABSTRACT:
A tape drive has a take-up reel assembly and a tape guide arrangement that are each selectively actuatable for interchangeable use with magnetic recording tape of a first width or a second width. The take-up reel assembly includes at least one actuatable, retractable element that can be moved between the flanges of the take-up reel assembly, dependent on the width of the tape currently being used in the drive, and the tape guide arrangement includes actuatable guide elements movable to define a width of the tape transport path across the read/write head, also dependent on the width of the magnetic recording tape currently being used.
