摘要

A tray is provided in an apparatus main body so that it can be freely loaded or unloaded in the depth direction. The tray is enclosed in an enclosing port of the front portion. A plurality of magazine racks each having a plurality of slots which can enclose media are arranged in the depth direction in the tray. The medium in the magazine rack is conveyed between an optical disk drive and the rack by an accessor provided in the apparatus. The magazine rack has a box-shaped rack main body which is opened only in the lateral direction for the loading/unloading direction of the tray in a tray enclosing state. The rack main body has a handle in the upper portion so as to be freely folded down. An emulation unit selects a form by a dip switch. In the first type, all of the optical disk media emulates a hard disk drive of one volume. In the second type, each of a plurality of optical disk media emulates a hard disk drive of one volume. Further, in the third type, a predetermined number of media among the plurality of optical disk media enclosed in the magazine rack are grouped and each group emulates a hard disk drive of one volume.
