Abstract
An interconnection system for electronic devices includes an internal master connecting terminal which is arranged to receive and mate with one of a plurality of available modular interfacing devices. The electronic device includes a system of internally arranged support and housing cavities which are graduated in size to house and support the modular interfacing devices and provide a uniform and contiguous output interface for connection to other electronic and peripheral devices. The modular interfacing devices are designed to accomodate the inclusion of various bus arrangements as well as additional components and circuitry, both active and passive.
