ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A tape drive system includes means for capturing data block boundaries while moving in reverse, as well as in the forward direction. Thus, block boundaries can be captured following each reversal of tape direction to cancel prior errors induced during tape reversals provided these errors are within tolerance. In a hitch operation, the rear boundary of a data block is recaptured as a reference position for the next forward operation. In a backspace operation, the front boundary of a data block is captured while the tape is moving in the reverse direction to provide a reference point for the next operation.
