                     This is an appeal from the final rejection of claims 1 through 30.  In an Amendment                    
              After Final (paper number 11), claims 1 and 91 were amended.                                                  
                     The disclosed invention relates to a method and system for fetching data for a first                   
              device, storing the fetched data for the first device in a data buffer shared by a plurality of               



                     1 Inasmuch as the indefiniteness rejection of claims 1 and 9 was not repeated in the answer, it is     
              assumed that the amendment had the effect of overcoming the rejection.
