          Application No. 08/202,828                                                  


               1.  A circuit for driving current through the stator                   
          coils in a motor comprising:                                                
               a first voltage amplifier having a first input for                     
          receiving an input signal, having a second input for receiving              
          a feedback signal, and having an output;                                    
               a compensation circuit to compensate the output of                     
          said first voltage amplifier;                                               
               a second voltage amplifier for receiving the                           
          compensated output from said first voltage amplifier;                       
               a means for selectively driving said stator coils                      
          responsive to the output of said second voltage amplifier; and              
               a selectable current path for selectively discharging                  
          current from said compensation circuit such that said                       
          compensation circuit is discharged when said means for                      
          selectively connecting the output is not connected.                         
                                                                                     
               The reference relied on by the examiner is:                            
          Rhodes              4,319,173                          Mar. 9,              
          1982                                                                        
               Claims 1 through 17, 19 and 21 through 24 stand rejected               
          under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over appellant’s                
          admitted prior art in view of Rhodes.                                       
               Reference is made to the brief (paper number 23), the                  
          final rejection (paper number 5) and the answer (paper number               
          14) for the respective positions of the appellant and the                   
          examiner.
