A communication register 5 is provided with a communication data area 5a and a reserve cell information area 5b. When other data cartridge is stored already in a cell of moving destination, the display state of the area 5b is read to an access controller 2 by a controller 3 or 4 and when the display state is idle, a saving instruction to the reserve cell is issued to the controller 2.
