A tape cartridge includes a case, which is made of a lower case and an
upper case, for accommodating a reel wound with a magnetic tape. The
lower case includes a bottom surface disposed with two positioning holes
formed separately from each other on a straight line orthogonal to a
direction in which the tape cartridge is loaded into a drive device. The
lower case also includes a front wall disposed with two surfaces for
regulating a depth to which the case is loaded in the drive device. The
two surfaces are positioned on straight lines that pass along the loading
direction through the center of the positioning holes when seen from
below. Positioning pins of the drive device are inserted into the
positioning holes when regulating protrusions of the drive device abut
against the two surfaces to regulate the depth to which the case is
loaded.
