A control system for a magnetic tape cassette apparatus of the type requiring no movement of a transducer for the establishment of data transfer contact with the tape cassette. Inserted lengthwise in the apparatus, the tape cassette has its apertured front side oriented toward the fixed transducer. A cassette shift mechanism subsequently moves the tape cassette in its own plane into data transfer contact with the transducer. Then a pair of tape transport spindles are moved into driving engagement with the tape cassette by a tape transport shift mechanism. Both cassette shift mechanism and tape transport shift mechanism are actuated by a motor driven dual control cam under the control of a digital microprocessor controller. The controller has inputs connected to a cam position sensor which detects predetermined angular positions of the dual control cam, a cassette loading sensor which indicates whether the cassette is in the data transfer position, and a tape transport sensor which indicates whether the drive spindles are in or out of driving engagement with the cassette. Relying on digital outputs from these sensors, the controller determines the loading of the cassette in the data transfer position and the ejection of the cassette from the apparatus.
