          Appeal No. 1995-3501                                       Page 2           
          Application No. 07/927,788                                                  


          pending in this application.  Claims 1 through 86 have been                 
          canceled.                                                                   





               The appellants’ invention relates to a computer system                 
          that includes a write once read mostly (“WORM”) volume and a                
          path volume reference (“PVR”) table which is stored on                      
          magnetic storage.  An understanding of the invention can be                 
          derived from a reading of exemplary claim 87, which appears in              
          the appendix to the appellants’ brief.                                      
                                    The prior art                                     
               The prior art reference of record relied upon by the                   
          examiner in rejecting the appealed claims is:                               
          Miki et al. (Miki)       5,040,110                Aug. 13, 1991             
          (filed Oct. 28, 1988)                                                       
                                    The rejection                                     
               Claims 87 through 92 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103              
          as being unpatentable over Miki.                                            
               Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced              
          by the examiner and the appellants regarding the above-noted
