By decreasing the amount of card substrate required in a memory card to support the actual memory unit, the test interface of the card, which is usually removed before final assembly of the card, can be brought within the allowable length of the finished card and can, therefore, remain on the card permanently. Consequently, in the event of a field failure, the test interface remains available for testing the card and diagnosing the location and cause of the failure.
