On an adapter mounting portionhaving a projecting cross section which is formed on a capof a small-sized memory card, a recessed portion of an adapterside is fitted so that both parts are formed as an integral unit in a replaceable manner. Accordingly, the small-sized memory cardcan maintain the dimensional compatibility with respect to existing memory cards whereby the small-sized memory cardcan be used also in equipment which is designed to cope with the existing memory cards.
