   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.
