FACOM 6460 Cartridge Library System

In 1984, Fujitsu completed the FACOM 6460 Cartridge Library System as a successor of this system. The FACOM 6460 used newly developed special data cartridges having a memory capacity of 150Mbyte, and was developed in order to achieve better economy, easier adoption and management, and higher reliability. The FACOM 6460 was specialized for backup applications and was not equipped with a virtual magnetic disk mechanism. The FACOM 6450 and 6460 used special-purpose data cartridges, but they developed later into library systems employing cartridge tape media used in tape units.
