           Appeal No. 2001-0517                                                                  
           Application No. 08/586,611                                                            

           size transfer of data from the hard drive.  We further find that                      
           Osterlund is concerned with the interplay of buffering and the                        
           hard drive and studies the transfer rate of blocks of data from                       
           the buffering to the hard drive.  Osterlund also does not address                     
           the same problem as appellants.                                                       
                 Therefore, we do not find that the examiner has established                     
           a set of facts which would lead an artisan to make the                                
           modifications of Martins reference with the teachings of                              
           Choudhary and Osterlund to arrive at the invention recited in                         
           claim 8.  Since the other claims contain the same or similar                          
           limitations, they too cannot be rejected by the combinations                          
           suggested by the examiner.                                                            


















                                               8
