Abstract

A method and apparatus for effecting a transfer of data between different areas of a memory. Memory reading circuitry and memory writing circuitry are both connected to loopback switching apparatus. The loopback switching apparatus is controllably operable to interconnect the read circuitry with the write circuitry. This permits the data read out of a first memory area to be extended to the write circuitry for entry into a second memory area.
