          Appeal No. 96-2820                                                          
          Application 08/227,705                                                      


          amplifier bit lines and said second gate cuircuit isolates                  
          said second pair of bit lines from said pair of sense                       
          amplifier bit lines, and b) corresponding to data stored in a               
          second memory cell accessed by one of said second word lines                
          when said first gate circuit isolates said first pair of bit                
          lines from said pair of sense amplifier bit lines and said                  
          second gate circuit connects said second pair of bit lines to               
          said pair of sense amplifier bit lines.
