I would hope whoever gets it is prepared to exchange
information. There is no
software with my machine, of course.
Pete,
Congrats! Once you pick up the system feel free to contact me about getting copies of
the limited software I have for the MINC at this time. They are great systems to
experiment with.

In case anyone is worried I am keeping 2 MINCs myself. One is an RL01-based
one that I have pulled the CPU, RAM and Bootstrap cards from and hung it off
a DW11-B (Unibus-Qbus interface) on a PDP11/45 (yes, that does work!). I've not
got the 11/45 running after the house move, but it is all there and sorting it out
is just a matter of time The other MINC is a MINC-23 (PDP11/23 CPU board),
with an RX02. I am also keeping at least one of every MINC module I have
ever owned, including MNCAG (analogue preamplifier) and MNCTP
(thermocouple interface).
Tony,
Using a DW11-B to connect the MINC to a PDP-11/45 sounds fantastic! What a neat idea!
I have all the MINC modules except the MNCTP thermocouple interface and the MNCAM analog
mux. With the modified BDV11 I've been able to boot 11/03, 11/23 and 11/73 CPUs. I run
either RT-11 and RSX11M by changing MicroSD cards on the UC07 / SCSI2SD drives (configured
as 4 150 MB drives). I understand some MINC-23s ran RSX and would love to find any drivers
for RSX and the MINC modules.
