ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus to quickly and correctly re-initialize a tape drive mechanism after power loss employs a non-volatile memory to store functional state data during normal operation of the tape drive mechanism. After a power loss, the functional state data is read from the non-volatile memory so that the tape drive mechanism can be properly re-initialized based on the recovered functional state data.
