Abstract: Tape drive apparatus comprising a read/write head assembly 301, 401 is disclosed. Means to effect movement of the read/write head assembly from a first read/write position to a second non-read/write position are provided. A tape engaging surface maintains tape tension and path in the non-read/write position. Movement of the read/write head assembly 301, 401 to a non-read/write position prevents read/write head element 302, 402 wear during tape searching.
