ABSTRACT:
A memory cartridge system having a compact memory cartridge and an adapter which mounts a compact memory cartridge within a reproducing apparatus designed for a standard memory cartridge of a larger size. The adapter with the compact memory cartridge being mounted thereon is substantially the same shape and size as the standard memory cartridge. According to a preferred embodiment, the adapter has a connector for electrical connection with the compact memory cartridge and a connector to be coupled to the reproducing apparatus. The compact memory cartridge is connected electrically to the reproducing apparatus via the adapter. The compact memory cartridge is guided to a predetermined mounting position by guide grooves and projections, and is held at that position. A suitable combination of shapes and lengths of the guide protrusions and grooves prevents the compact memory cartridge with incorrect settings of its top and bottom surfaces or its right and left sides from being mounted on the adapter. The adapter is provided with a lock mechanism which prevents the compact memory cartridges from being detached from the adapter.
