Abstract
An information storage apparatus (20) used in combination with an information processing device utilizes a plurality of magnetic disk units (22). The units are individually stocked in stocking locations of a stocking device (23). The stocking locations are assigned with different address numbers. On receiving an incoming signal from the information processing device, one of the units loaded into a disk driver (24) by a transporting device (49, 50) and a desired information data is recorded or reproduced on a flexible magnetic disk of the unit. The unit is thereafter returned to the initial location of the stocking device. Each of the units may have a recording medium. A recording and reproducing device (57) records or reproduces address information on the medium of the unit during transportation of the unit. After a part of a series of information data is recorded in one of the disk units and a remaining portion of the data is recorded in another, the series of information data can be reliably and readily reproduced from the two disk units with reference to the address information on the media of the two disk units.
