Consider a 16-bit, byte-addressable machine that has the organization of Figure 7.1. Bytes at even and odd

Question:

Consider a 16-bit, byte-addressable machine that has the organization of Figure 7.1. Bytes at even and odd addresses are transferred on the high- and low-order 8 bits of the memory bus, respectively. Show a suitable gating scheme for connecting register MDR to the memory bus and to the internal processor bus to allow byte transfers to occur. When a byte is being handled, it should always be in the low-order byte position inside the processor.
