Abstract
A package for one or more integrated circuit dice which includes a spreader which provides a conventional signal path between the die and a printed circuit board to which it is demountably attached as well as an additional, more readily accessible subset of signals, preferably available through a flexible cable extending horizontally from the package. The spreader provides a first set of contacts on a first side for interface to the integrated circuit dice, a second set of contacts on a second side opposite the first side which are connected to some of the contacts of the first set of contacts for connection to the printed circuit board, and a third set of contacts on the first side along one edge thereof for engaging the flexible cable and carrying the subset of signals.
