The screwdriver is not for the tape. It’s for adjusting the audio head so it can pick up the data on the tape.

When someone gave you a tape with some nice games on it there was a near 100% chance you needed to adjust your datasette to read them.

Don't you use a flathead for that?

A flathead is still a screwdriver, is it not?

It was a Philips screw IIRC. You can also use a flathead screwdriver on them but you shouldn’t IMHO.
