ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a magnetic tape cartridge driver for opening a tape protecting door of a tape cartridge, enabling contact between a magnetic head of the magnetic tape cartridge driver and a magnetic tape housed within the tape cartridge, which can accept not only a conventional tape cartridge but also an enlarged tape cartridge containing a larger capacity, by providing a slider mounted in the cartridge tape driver for engaging with a guide groove formed on a side of an inserted tape cartridge, thereby sliding the tape cartridge along the guide rails to the specified position, where the slider tip comes into contact with an edge of the tape protecting door before the engagement of the guide rails with the guide grooves.
