video and disk controllers, memory bus and chip set logic. The
combined teachings of Maher, DeRoo, Oh, and Boehmer fail to teach
or suggest varying the size of the boot code section by modifying
the information stored in the boot section size field in response
to signals on the memory bus. As we found, supra, with respect
to claim 29, the combined teachings of DeRoo, Oh and Boehmer do
not teach or suggest that the size of the boot code section may
be modified in response to signals on the memory bus, but rather
is modified using the pull-up and pull-down resistors.
Accordingly, we find that the examiner has failed to establish a
prima facie case of obviousness of claim 42. The rejection of
claim 42, and claims 43-48, dependent therefrom, under 35 U.S.C.
§ 103(a) is therefore reversed.
