  Predictions from the RQMD model are systematically compared to recently
published charged hadron distributions of AGS Experiment 802 for central Si+Au
collisions at 14.6$A$ GeV/$c$, taking into account both the experimental
trigger condition and acceptance. The main features of the data, including
K$^+$ production, can be understood quantitatively to better than 20\% within
the framework of the model, although several discrepancies are found, most
importantly for the proton spectra.
