ABSTRACT:
A wearable support and interconnection structure for a modular microcomputer system having a plurality of microcomputer cards housed in a plurality of microcomputer card pockets linked by flexible circuitry and card connectors within a wearable garment. The support and interconnection structure includes a plurality of channels defined in the garment that secure an electronic linking system to the wearable garment. The linking system includes a plurality of flat flexible cables encasing flexible circuitry and operably connected to a plurality of microcomputer card connectors opening into each pocket. The linking system extends from pocket to pocket in a predetermined sequence. The support and interconnection structure operably couples microcomputer cards, including at least a processor card (and power supply), a device card and one or more special function cards, such as, for example, PCMCIA cards, such that, when provided with power, an operational microcomputer system is created.
