                     A patent examiner rejected claims 1-20.  The appellant appeals therefrom under                     
              35 U.S.C. § 134(a).  We reverse.                                                                          


                                                   BACKGROUND                                                           
                     The invention at issue on appeal connects a peripheral to a computer system.  A                    
              computer system uses a processor and a memory to control the operation of                                 
              peripherals connected to the computer system via a bus.  (Spec. at 1.)
