Abstract
A CF card can be shifted in position with respect to a card connecting adapter between a position where it is projected from the housing of the card connecting adapter and a position where it is prevented from projecting from the housing of the card connecting adapter. When the CF card is set at the position where it is prevented from projecting from the housing of the card connecting adapter, the antenna mounting surface of the CF card with an antenna is prevented from projecting from the body of a notebook personal computer. On the other hand, when the CF card is set at the position where it is projected from the housing, the antenna mounting surface is projected from the PC card slot.
