ABSTRACT:
Mechanical incompatibility features between a first and a second belt-driven magnetic recording tape cartridge comprise a shorter rail-mating channel and a countersunk lip in one of the side walls of the first cartridge. The features prevent the first cartridge from being inserted into a tape drive for reading the second cartridge, and vice versa, in order to mechanically distinguish between belt-driven cartridges containing magnetic tapes with different recording characteristics, but having the same form factor.
