Abstract
A tray is supported movably relative to a case to enable a second disk to be loaded into and unloaded from a second-disk holding recess. Positioning is performed by using second positioning holes formed through the case and tray. A turntable and a head are inserted through two second opening holes. A second-disk cartridge of thin construction, capable of holding therein the second disk in removable fashion, can be mounted in a recording/reproducing apparatus capable of mounting therein a first-disk cartridge.
