Message-ID: <544@ihuxa.UUCP> Date: Wed, 6-Jun-84 17:34:22 EDT Article-I.D.: ihuxa.544 Posted: Wed Jun 6 17:34:22 1984 Date-Received: Thu, 7-Jun-84 19:09:21 EDT Organization: AT&T Bell Labs, Naperville, IL Lines: 30 I know little of UNIX internals but somehow got lassoed into doing a study of 11/70's vs 11/780's. Hopefully someone out there can help, thanks in advance. I am in need of information on the differences between System V UNIX* on an 11/70 versus an 11/780 (VAX). Specifically the following: Is an 11/70 capable of performing the full impelmentation of System V UNIX ? If it is not capable, what can't be done. Are there hardware problems involved? Does an 11/70 have any specific advantages/disadvantages when running System V, can they be overcome? Time differences between machines on file copies etc... Please send information by mail, if possible I will summorize on the net. G. P. Wilkin (AT&T NETWORK SYSTEMS) ihnp4!ihuxa!gpw *System V and UNIX are trrademarks of AT&T
