ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and processes for making and using the same, for holding tape media for use in compact computer tape drives. Tape media cartridges for use in compact computer tape drives have a single reel for holding the tape media, and include a leader block coupled to the tape media. When inserted into the tape drive, a leader block handling mechanism within the tape drive grips the leader block and threads the tape media on a take up reel in the tape drive. The apparatus permits the leader block handling mechanism to more easily grip the leader block, and promotes more compact designs for tape media cartridges and tape drives.
