            Application No. 08/825,424                                                                 


            on Frater merely “for the details of the magnetic disk drive,”                             
            (Final Rejection at 5), the examiner fails to allege, let                                  
            alone show, that the tertiary reference cures the defect of                                
            the primary and secondary references.  Therefore, we reverse                               
            the rejection of claims 40 and 49 and of claims 41-47 and 49-                              
            55, which respectively depend therefrom.                                                   


                                            CONCLUSION                                                 
                  In summary, the rejection of claims 40-55 under § 103(a)                             
            is reversed.
