          Application No. 08/768,231                                                  


          Park                          5,828,516           Oct. 27, 1998             
                                                  (filed Feb. 23, 1996)               
                                     Background                                       
               The present invention relates to a hard disk wherein servo             
          identification is recorded in the servo bursts.  On pages 3 and 4           
          of Appellant's Brief, we note that the servo identification is              
          recorded in A and B portions of said servo bursts to enable                 
          detection of said servo identification by a head when said head             
          is in an off-track state and an on-track state, see independent             
          claims 1 and 41.  We further note that the servo identification             
          can also be recorded in P and Q portions of said servo bursts to            
          enable detection of said servo identification by a head when said           
          head is on an even numbered track and an odd numbered track,                
          99see independent claims 3 and 44.  Appellant's Brief, on pages 6           
          and 7, also explains that the invention includes a hard disk                
          drive including a head means for reading data, a gate array for             
          receiving a processed output signal and a processing means                  
          comprising an automatic gain control circuit and a servo
