ABSTRACT:
An information recording/reproducing apparatus includes a holder for holding a cartridge inserted therein and loading it into a load position, the holder being capable of holding both a single-sided cartridge containing a recording medium having a recording surface on one side thereof and a double-sided cartridge containing a recording medium having recording surfaces on both sides thereof, a thickness of the double-sided cartridge being the same as that of the single-sided cartridge. A recording/reproducing mechanism is arranged to face one surface of the recording medium loaded in the load position, for recording/reproducing information on/from the one surface, and a wrong insertion preventing mechanism is provided for, when a single-sided cartridge is inserted in the holder so that a non-recording surface faces the recording/reproducing mechanism, detecting the insertion and preventing the cartridge from being loaded into the load position, and when the double-sided cartridge is inserted in the holder, detecting the insertion and allowing the cartridge to be loaded into the load position.
