Abstract
A disc cartridge adaptor for housing a information storage disc and a disc holder. The disc cartridge adaptor includes: a case body including a housing portion for rotatably housing the disc, and an opening communicating with the housing portion for allowing insertion and removal of the disc holder and the disc. A lid is pivotably supported by the case body. The housing portion is able to house the disc together with the disc holder or without the disc holder. The lid includes a positioning member movable between a first position and a second position with respect to the lid. The positioning member is in the first position restricting the position of the disc within a predetermined range when the disc is housed in the housing portion without the disc holder, and retreats to the second position when the disc holder is housed in the housing portion.
