Abstract
A battery pack is detachably provided for a drive main body. When carrying, an interface card and a connector cable are detachably supported and fixed to the drive main body by a holder member, thereby packaging. A power source is supplied from an upper apparatus to a control IC circuit unit of a device via the interface card. Only when both of the power supply from the upper apparatus and the power supply from an external power source unit are detected, the power source from the external power source unit is supplied to a device circuit unit, thereby making the device circuit unit operative.
