operation in accordance with this standard.” (Examiner’s
Answer at 4-5.)
Regarding ANSI, the examiner asserts, “[t]he SCSI
standard teaches how a SCSI initiator works with just one
memory unit connected to one host which is an equivalent
structure to that described by Applicant. See SCSI standard
sections 6, 6.1.3, 7.1.1-3, 7.1.5-6, pp. 26, 51-71, 80-82,
185-186, 194-199, 208-209. The referenced sections teach the
operation of the elements as claimed by the Applicant.” (Id.
at 5.)
The examiner ends the rejection by concluding that it
would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art at
the time of invention “to provide the apparatus disclosed and
claimed by Applicant in claims 1-9 to operate in accordance
with the ANSI SCSI stsndard [sic, standard] in the system
described by Fischer, since Fischer leaves details of SCSI
operation unsaid and explicitly suggests that the ANSI SCSI
standard be followed.” (Id.)
