stand objected to as being dependent upon a rejected base

The appellants' invention relates to a method of
providing communication between two machines. Claim 1 is
illustrative of the claimed invention, and it reads as
follows:
1. A method for providing communication between a first
machine and a second, the method comprising coupling a first
video display output of the first machine to a first input
port of the second machine, generating at the first video
display output first video display signals to couple the first
video display signals to the second machine, converting said
first video display signals generated by the first machine at
the first video display output into first instructions and
data and using the first instructions and data to operate the
second machine.
The prior art reference of record relied upon by the
examiner in rejecting the appealed claims is:
Schultz et al. (Schultz) 4,754,428 June 28,
1988
Claims 1 through 4, 13, 14, 21 through 24, 33, and 34
stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable
over Schultz.
Reference is made to the Examiner's Answer (Paper No. 21,
mailed April 5, 1996) for the examiner's complete reasoning in
