Appeal No. 96-3274
Application 08/173,408
is in adapter memory 103 (in RAM 50), and the network
interface logic 104 is the "network interface module," it
appears that the RAM interface 50 constitutes a point-to-point
interface between the network interface logic 104 and the
register. Appellant argues that Petersen does not have a
point-to-point interface because it has a bussed architecture
(Br25). However, the network interface logic 104 does not use
the EISA bus. Therefore, although this teaching of Petersen
is not appreciated by the Examiner, it appears that Petersen
does have a point-to-point interface. Moreover, it seems that
a bus can be said to broadly provide a point-to-point
interface between two elements on the bus.
