Abstract: An apparatus includes a receiving area configured to receive a plurality of mounts,each mount being configured to support at least one tape spool pair thereon. A magnetic head is configured to perform data operations on magnetic recording tapes of the tape spool pairs. A positioning mechanism is configured to selectively align the magnetic head to a selected one of the tape spool pairs. A product apparatus, in accordance with another approach, includes a mount having a tape spool pair thereon.The mount is configured to be insertaed in a receiving area of an apparatus configured to receive a plurality of mounts.
