Abstract
A card connection adaptor is provided which is used for connecting, to a connector of a card slot compliant with a first standard, a card compliant with a second standard. The adaptor includes: a first connector compliant with the first standard and adapted to be electrically connected to the connector of the card slot; a second connector compliant with the second standard; and signal conversion circuitry for performing signal conversion between a first-standard-compliant signal and a second-standard-compliant signal. A card retaining space for retaining the second-standard-compliant card inserted therein is formed in a housing which holds the first connector, the second connector and the signal conversion circuit. The card retaining space has a card insertion port which opens generally perpendicularly to an insertion direction in which the card connection adaptor is inserted into the card slot.
