               read as follows:                                                                                                      

                       2.  An electronic apparatus comprising:                                                                       

                       an electronic circuit portion comprising:                                                                     

                       a plurality of IC cards, each card having a depth of 86mm, a width of 54mm and a thickness of                 
               between about 3mm and about 16mm said plurality of IC cards being arranged in function block units,                   
               each function block  unit performing a separate function of the electronic apparatus, at least one of the             
               function block units including a solid state disk card and an OS/application card;                                    

                       a plurality of connectors for detachably mounting said IC cards; and                                          

                       a mother board having a bus section including a main bus (high-speed bus)  and an input/output                
               bus (low-speed bus), which are independent of each other, for electrically connecting said plurality of               
               IC cards to each other, said plurality of IC cards including a bus interface card for interfacing between             
               the input/output bus and the main bus;                                                                                

                       input means electrically connected to the electronic circuit portion for inputting information to             
               said electronic circuit portion; and                                                                                  

                       display means electrically connected to the electronic circuit portion.                                       



                       4.  A disk drive-free notebook computer comprising:                                                           

                       a display;                                                                                                    

                       a main body portion having a keyboard on a top surface thereof;                                               

                       an electronic circuit portion comprising:
