          Appeal No. 96-0166                                                           
          Application 08/083,419                                                       

               We will reverse the rejection of claims 13-17 because we                
          find that Powell does not disclose a "bus enable signal" and a               
          "test enable signal," where the method includes the step of                  
          "selecting the test enable signal in place of the bus enable                 
          signal when a test signal is asserted," as recited in                        
          claim 13, as discussed with respect to the "means ... for                    
          communicating the test enable signal ... in place of the                     
          enable signal" limitation in claim 4.                                        
























                                        - 11 -
