          Appeal No. 1997-1351                                                         
          Application 08/127,924                                                       

          connected to the RISC-based processor bus 208 which is in                    
          turn connected to M68000 bus 23.                                             
               For the reasons stated above, we sustain the rejection                  
          of claims 19 and 37.  As argued, the rest of the claims fall                 
          with claims 19 and 37.  Accordingly, we also sustain the                     
          rejections of claims 20-36 and 38-45.                                        
               To save future argument between the Examiner and                        
          Appellants, we note that if the limitation that "the                         
          plurality of peripheral devices are connected to both the                    
          control bus and the remainder bus" was amended to read "the                  
          plurality of peripheral devices are connected independently                  
          to each of [both] the control bus and the remainder bus"                     
          (additions underlined and deletion in brackets), it would                    
          distinguish over the arrangement in Petty.
