          Application 08/640,351                                                      


          specification, page 1, lines 14-18.  The sampled amplitude read             
          channel includes a sampling device (24) that asynchronously                 
          samples the analog read signal to generate discrete time sample             
          values (Xk) (25).  See figure 3, and specification, page 14,                
          lines 4-5.  The sampled amplitude read channel further includes             
          an adaptive equalizer (B103), responsive to the discrete time               
          sample values (Xk) (25) for generating equalized sample values              
          (32) according to a target response.  See specification, page 14,           
          lines 4-9.  The sampled amplitude read channel also includes an             
          interpolated timing recovery circuit (B100) for generating                  
          interpolated sample values (B102).  See figure 3 and                        
          specification, page 20, lines 1-3.  Additionally, the sampled               
          amplitude read channel includes a discrete time sequence detector           
          (34) for detecting the digital data from the interpolated sample            
          values (B102).                                                              
               Figure 4B is a detailed block diagram of the interpolated              
          timing recovery circuit (B100) shown in figure 3.  See                      
          Specification, page 11, lines 11-13, and page 19, lines 14-15.              
          Figure 8B is a detailed block diagram of the adaptive equalizer             
          (B103) shown in figure 3.  See Specification, page 11, lines                
          22-23, and page 35, lines 17-18.  Figure 8C is an alternative               
          embodiment of the detailed block diagram of the adaptive                    
                                          2
