Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain the use of both a ROM cartridge and an IC memory card by providing an IC memory card slit and a terminal having a contact with a card terminal to a connector and having a 1:1 connection between a connector terminal and an external terminal. CONSTITUTION:A connector 5 of a cartridge contains a slit 53 for an IC memory card C and a terminal 54 having a 1:1 corresponding contact with the terminal of the card C. The terminal 54 is connected to an attachment pin 51 in correspondence. Therefore the terminal of the card C is connected to the pin 51 in 1:1 correspondence. In such a constitution, an external terminal of the cartridge is connected to a personal computer and the card C is inserted. Thus the terminal of the card C is set in 1:1 correspondence to the terminal of the cartridge via the connector 5. As a result, the card C is available also to an MSX personal computer with which only a ROM cartridge can be so far used.

ンピュータやその端末機に、■ｃメモリーカードを接続
するためのカートリッジに関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a cartridge for connecting a c memory card to a computer or its terminal having a connection section exclusively for ROM cartridges.

最近、パソコンのハード及びソフト面の規格が統一され
、その統一機種はＭＳＸパソコンと称されている。Recently, the hardware and software standards for personal computers have been unified, and the unified model is called the MSX personal computer.

このＭＳＸパソコンでは、メディアとして第３図に示す
ようなＲＯＭカートリッジを用いることとされている。This MSX personal computer uses a ROM cartridge as shown in FIG. 3 as a media.

このＲＯＭカートリッジは、ケース半休３０内にプリン

てパソコンの接触端子と接続されるようになっている。Then, when the slider 33 is attached to one side of the case 30 and the cartridge is inserted into the computer body, the slider 33 retreats as shown in FIG.
Terminals 34 arranged on one side of the case 30 are exposed from the case 30 and are connected to contact terminals of a personal computer.

このＲＯＭカートリッジは、ケース３０に上方からぼぼ
同形の他の半休（図示路）をかぶせた状態で使用する。This ROM cartridge is used in a state where the case 30 is covered with another semicircle (the path shown in the figure) having approximately the same shape from above.

ところがこのＭＳＸパソコンには、接続部の形状的制約
により、当然、規格化されたＲＯＭカートリッジしか使
用できない。However, due to the shape restrictions of the connecting parts, only standardized ROM cartridges can be used in this MSX personal computer.

できる。That is, the present invention is a connection cartridge characterized by being equipped with a computer connection part having the same structure as a standardized ROM cartridge, and a nine-pair power connection part with a structure to which an IC memory card can be connected. As a result, if a card with the same software as the ROM cartridge is made, it can be used in conventional computers without changing the connection structure.

以下本発明を図面にもとづいて説明する。The present invention will be explained below based on the drawings.

ある。A board 2 is fixed inside the case half 1, and there is a projecting portion 21 at one end of the board 2, and external terminals 3, 3, . . . are arranged on the upper and lower surface thereof. Overhang part 21
A slider 33 (not shown in FIG. 1) similar to a conventional ROM cartridge is attached around the periphery of the ROM cartridge. The above points are the same structure as the conventional ROM cartridge for MSX.

ードＣ用のガイド５２が設けられている。The substrate 2 is provided with the same number of connection holes 4 as the terminals 3, and the terminals 3 and the connection holes 4 are wired in a one-to-one correspondence. Since the same number of terminals 3 are arranged on both the upper and lower surfaces of the overhang, the number of connection holes 4 is required to be twice the number of terminals on one side. 5 is a connector placed on the board 2. The connector 5 has the same number of attachment pins 51 as the connection holes 4, and is firmly connected to the board 21 by the pins 51. An insertion slot 53 for the IC memory card C is provided on one side of the connector, and a terminal 54 that makes one-to-one contact with the terminal of the card C is provided in the insertion slot. are connected correspondingly. Thereby, the terminals of the card C and the attachment bin 51 are connected in a one-to-one correspondence. Further, guides 52 for the card C are provided on the left and right sides of the connector.
