A disc cartridge includes a cartridge body having a disc storage portion,
a chucking opening and a head opening. The disc storage portion has a
disc window and a bottom and stores a disc, having first and second
sides, therein so that the disc is rotatable in the disc storage portion
and that the first side of the disc is exposed. The chucking opening is
formed on the bottom of the disc storage portion so as to get the disc
chucked externally. The head opening is also formed on the bottom of the
disc storage portion so as to allow a head, which reads and/or writes a
signal from/on the second side of the disc, to access the second side of
the disc. A shutter is supported to, and movable with respect to, the
cartridge body so as to expose or cover at least the head opening.
