          Appeal No. 96-0982                                                          
          Application 08/163,812                                                      


          placed on said bus by said programmable microprocessor,                     
          respective ones of said control signals being memory write                  
          enable signals for write enabling said first or second units,               
          said write enable signals be directed to said respective                    
          memory unit;                                                                
               means for maintaining said respective write enable                     
          control signals active for at least a first period equal to at              
          least said write access time of said first memory unit in                   
          response to generation of a respective one of said write                    
          enable control signals by said address decoder; and                         
               second means for further maintaining said respective                   
          write enable control signal active for an additional second                 
          period such that sum period of said first period of time in                 
          combination with said second period of time is at generally                 
          equal to said write access time required by said second memory              
          unit, said second means be responsive only to said write                    
          enable control signal generated by said address decoder for                 
          write enabling said second memory unit.                                     
          The examiner relies on the following reference:                             
          Larson                    5,097,437            Mar. 17, 1992                
          Claim 8 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as                         
          being anticipated by the disclosure of Larson.                              
          Rather than repeat the arguments of appellants or the                       
          examiner, we make reference to the briefs and the answer for                
          the respective details thereof.                                             
          OPINION                                                                     
          We have carefully considered the subject matter on                          
          appeal, the rejection advanced by the examiner and the
