          Appeal No. 1999-0041                                                         
          Application 08/475,669                                                       


                    double word reflecting said data when said                         
               data's particular endian type is found not to be the                    
               same as that of said task; and                                          
                    accessing said data.                                               

               The prior art applied in rejecting the claims follows:                  
               Undy et al. (Undy), A Low Cost Graphics and Multimedia                  
               Workstation Chip Set, IEEE Micro, Apr. 1994, pp. 10-22                  
               James, Multiplexed Buses: The Endian Wars Continue,                     
               IEEE Micro, June 1990, pp. 9-21.                                        
          Claims 2-5, 18, and 19 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as               
          being obvious over Undy in view of James.  Rather than                       
          reiterate                                                                    
          the arguments of the appellants or examiner in toto, we refer                
          the reader to the brief and answer for the respective details                
          thereof.                                                                     


                                       OPINION                                         
               In deciding this appeal, we considered the subject matter               
          on appeal and the rejection of the examiner.  Furthermore, we                
          duly considered the arguments and evidence of the appellants                 
          and examiner.  After considering the record, we are persuaded
