ABSTRACT:
Page-mode-organized ROMs and associated circuitry are connected only to data and control buses in an information processing system. Addressing and reading of the ROMs are controlled by a processor without connecting the ROMs to an address bus. Selection of a particular ROM and of a particular page in the selected ROM is accomplished by applying a first control signal to the control bus and a first data word to the data bus. This first data word thus serves as the address of the selected page in the selected ROM. Then a particular byte of the selected page is selected by applying a second control signal to the control bus and a second data word to the data bus. This second data word serves as the address of the selected byte. Subsequently, in response to a third control signal, the selected byte is read out of the selected ROM and applied to the data bus.
