Abstract
An automated archiving and retrieval system for computer tape cassettes includes at least one tape storage facility for storing a number of computer cassettes during periods of non-use, and at least one pair of tape drive sections. Each of the tape drive sections is positioned on a respective lateral side of the tape storage facility in spaced relationship therewith. A pair of robot transports is therefore capable of operating in a respective one of these defined spaces so as to transport tape cassettes between the tape storage facility and its respective tape drive sections.
