          transfer between said data processor and said external port                 
          dependent upon said memory type signals; and                                
                    a memory controller connected to said memory type                 
          controller, said first plurality of data lines of said data                 
          processor, said second plurality of data lines and said                     
          plurality of memory control output lines of said external port              
          for supplying memory control outputs signals to plurality of                
          memory control output lines of said external port for control               
          of information transfer between said data processor and said                
          external port for a next memory cycle corresponding to said                 
          selected memory protocol.                                                   
                    11.  A [sic] image processor comprising:                          
                    a data processor having a plurality of first address              
          lines and a plurality of first data lines, said data processor              
          supplying an address on said plurality of first address lines               
          and transferring data via said plurality of data lines;                     
                    an external port having a plurality of second                     
          address lines, a plurality of second data lines, a plurality                
          of memory control output lines and a plurality of bus size                  
          input lines;  and                                                           
                    a data buffer connected to said first data lines of               
          said data processor; and                                                    


                    memory interface circuitry coupled to said data                   
          processor, to said external port and to said data buffer                    
          operative to transfer information between said data processor               
          and said external port, said memory interface circuitry                     
          including:                                                                  
                         an addressing means receiving a data processor               
          address on said plurality of first address lines of said data               
          processor and supplying said data processor address to said                 

                                          5
