A flexible cable having top and bottom surfaces and top and bottom conductive layers embedded therebetween has affixed to the top surface thereof a plurality of core arrays having continuous drive conductors and separate sense and inhibit lines threaded therethrough to comprise sets of memory mats in a coincident current digital computer. Also affixed to the top surface of the cable and in the vicinity of different memory sets are respective electronic processing units which are terminated to the ends of the sense and inhibit lines threaded through the different mats. A memory conductor unique to each mat and comprised of paths in the top and bottom conductive layers and conductive through-holes therebetween communicates from an edge of the cable to the electronic units of each respective memory set. These memory conductors carry inhibit control signals to the respective electronic units during writing operations and sense signals from the electronic units during reading operations. Affixed to the bottom surface of the cable under each set of mats is a support plate, the bottom surface of which is mateable in heat transfer and supporting relationship with the bottom surface of an adjacent plate when the cable and plates are folded in an accordion-like manner. The edges of the alternate plates are then affixed in heat transfer and supporting relationship to encompassing structures.
