The invention assures data consistency at a time of data update. Also, the invention results in a reduction in the access time required to store incoming data. In response to an equality signal from a comparator circuit of a write buffer circuit which is then in an active level, data is immediately read out from a data buffer store having an address corresponding to the equality signal. A unidirectional tristate buffer is provided for temporarily disconnecting an address bus extending between a CPU and the write buffer circuit, again when such equality signal is in an active level. Similarly, a bidirectional tristate buffer is provided for temporarily disconnecting a data bus extending between the CPU and the write buffer circuit. At times a local controller may take over command of buffer storage of data, with an interrupt of the local controller if the central processor seizes command.
