          Appeal No. 2000-1289                                       Page 9           
          Application No. 08/604,829                                                  


          information in the memory bank 70 at its own speed.”  Id. at                
          ll. 8-13.                                                                   


               Relying on Farr merely to “teach[] a disk storage system               
          which operates in a RAID level 5 mode,” (Examiner’s Answer at               
          6), the examiner fails to allege, let alone show, that the                  
          secondary reference cures the defect of the primary                         
          references.  Therefore, we reverse the rejection of                         
          independent claim 11 and of claims 6, 7, 9, and 10, which                   
          depend therefrom.                                                           


                                     CONCLUSION                                       
               In summary, the rejection of claims 6, 7, and 9-11 under               
          § 103(a) is revered.
