I think it was '89 or '90. The contract award was protested (for
other reasons, whew!). During the recompete the rules were changed
somewhat, and I think then a target validation but not a host
validation on a '286 sans '287 (or 68020 sans 68881) was required. It
wasn't that hard a thing to support, but at the point it came up the
first time around, it was to late to ask for it.
