          Appeal No. 2001-0476                                                        
          Application No. 08/768,231                                                  

          art applies.  Third, we fail to find any meaningful rejection of            
          claims 13, 21 and 27 and would advise the Examiner to address               
          these claims accordingly.  Finally, based on the Examiner's                 
          discussion of the Moon et al. reference, we do not feel that the            
          Examiner fully appreciated what Moon teaches.                               
               Specifically, Moon teaches "track identification information           
          contained in the C burst will be read by the microprocessor."               
          See column 17, lines 47-49, generally column 16, line 40 to                 
          column 17, line 55 and Figure 9 of Moon.  Moon also teaches,                
               [o]ne further object of the present invention is to                    
               provide an improved servo control system and embedded                  
               servo burst pattern for a positionable head disk data                  
               storage file which provides absolute positional                        
               information in each servo burst readable through the                   
               same transducer head, data channel and data controller                 
               which operates for user data, thereby facilitating and                 
               vastly improving track seeking operations and                          
               performance.  See column 3, lines 58-66 of Moon.                       
          However, in light of a careful review of Appellant's                        
          specification and drawings, we cannot determine an answer to the            
          question, "what is a servo identification."  As such, we are                
          unable to make a meaningful and proper comparison of Moon's
