    摘要: A tape drive (10) that includes a cartridge receiver (18), a take-up reel (16) and a drive leader (32) is provided herein. The tape drive (10) is adapted for use with a cartridge (22) that includes a cartridge leader (28) having a cartridge buckle component (56). The drive leader (32) includes a drive buckle component (54) that engages the cartridge buckle component (56) to couple the drive leader (32) to the cartridge leader (28). The drive leader (32) includes a leader connector (88) having a connector aperture (102). The take-up reel (16) includes a hub (120) that receives the drive leader (32). Uniquely, the hub (120) including a drive component channel (146) that is sized and shaped to receive the drive buckle component (54). Preferably, the hub (120) also includes a cartridge component channel (148) that is sized and shaped to receive the cartridge buckle component (56) and a pair of member channels (150) (152) for receiving the leader connector (88). With this design, the surface of the storage tape (26) that is being wound around the take-up reel (16) is substantially a uniform distance from an axis of rotation (33) of the take-up reel (16). This reduces the amount of wear of the storage tape (26) and reduces speed variations caused by winding the tape (26) onto an eccentric surface.

    摘要: A tape cartridge including a repositionable memory element is provided. The tape cartridge includes a cartridge housing that includes a supply reel having a magnetic tape media spooled thereon and a memory element to communicate with a tape cartridge handling device via a wireless connection. In one embodiment of the invention, the memory element is connected to the cartridge housing using an attachment apparatus that provides a detachable connection with the cartridge housing. The attachment apparatus includes a positioning mechanism for repositioning the memory element following attachment to the tape cartridge housing to align the memory element with a mating transceiver in the tape-handling device to facilitate communication exchange therebetween.
