"We must distinguish our unique advantages within this consideration."

e.Digital's VPP and VCC management to the removable memory(the device) socket interface is novel and Gurries explains it.

He also explains that the memory considerations of the prior art are not external removable memory issues, but are circuit board memory issues.

IMO, it doesn't make any difference if the memory is a plug-in to a PCB or an external memory plug-in......the control coupling of the VCC and VPP pins by e.Digital methods will be the same.

IMO, there will be no reverse anything of the prior art to see what makes them tick.....e.Digital has their IP spelled out for a reason and they do not.....IMO, the prior art could care less, especially knowing, that they have been bettered by some one else. The prior art did not put forth the challenge in this debate, it was simply exemplified by others and has nothing to gain..
