          Appeal No. 1998-1343                                                        
          Application No. 08/154,695                                                  


               Appellant's invention relates to a data processor capable              
          of accessing data stored in a memory which has a data output                
          capacity smaller than the data processing capacity of the                   
          central processing unit.  Claim 6 is illustrative of the                    
          claimed invention, and it reads as follows:                                 
               6.   A data processor capable of high speed accessing,                 
          having a central processing unit for supplying a data output                
          control signal and address signals, comprising:                             
               signal generating means for generating a plurality of                  
          storage control signals and first and second address extension              
          signals;                                                                    
               memory means for storing data and sequentially outputting              
          a first portion of said data in response to said address                    
          signals and said first address extension signal and a second                
          portion of said data in response to said address signals and                
          said second address extension signals; and                                  
               a plurality of register means responsive to said data                  
          output control signal and said storage control signals, for                 
          receiving said data from said memory means in response to said              
          storage control signals and outputting said data                            
          simultaneously in response to said data output control signal.              
               The prior art reference of record relied upon by the                   
          examiner in rejecting the appealed claims is:                               
          Diehl               5,274,786                     Dec. 28, 1993             
                                             (filed Nov. 28, 1990)                    
               Claims 6, 7, and 9 through 11 stand rejected under 35                  
          U.S.C. § 102(e) as being anticipated by Diehl.
