I am interested in any information anyone may have concerning any differences
in the software development environment between a Norden Systems mil-spec 
"ruggedized" Micro-VAX and a vanilla Micro-VAX, assuming both are running 
Ultrix-32.

Since the project's target machine is a full mil-spec Micro-VAX, my concern 
is whether the two machines are sufficiently different to warrant purchasing
or leasing a Norden mil-spec system, or whether we can get by with a vanilla 
system for development purposes.

Thanks in advance,

Seth J. Abrahams
