          Appeal No. 96-3850                                                          
          Application No. 08/253,480                                                  


               As to the method claims, independent claim 7 requires                  
          loading with interrupt vectors a read/writable memory formed                
          on the same semiconductor chip as the microprocessor.  As                   
          discussed above, the prior art falls short of teaching forming              
          the particular read/writable memory with the interrupt vectors              
          on the same semiconductor chip as the microprocessor.                       
          Accordingly, we cannot sustain the rejection.                               
                                     CONCLUSION                                       
               The decision of the examiner to reject claims 1 through                
          12 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.
