          Appeal No. 2001-2236                                                        
          Application 07/955,669                                                      

          Coulson responds only to a particular single bit, not to "any               
          single bit" as claimed.  For this additional reason, the                    
          anticipation rejection of claims 1-11 must be reversed.                     
                                     CONCLUSION                                       
               Because Coulson does not disclose the limitations of "the              
          separate target device not being assigned a SCSI address" and "if           
          any single bit of the SCSI data bus is asserted, the separate               
          target device responding on the SCSI bus," Coulson does not                 
          anticipate representative claim 1.  The rejection of claims 1-11            
          is reversed.                                                                
                                      REVERSED
