Directly, there isn't an obvious way. I'm guessing they sold the

It's not period to the MiniMINC, but I have a stick-of-gum-sized
multi-channel analog input device with a DE-9 on one end. ISTR it has
four analog channels and it spits out readings over a 9600-N-1

I'll pull it off the shelf and post the part number. Who knows? They
might have some modern (less than 10-year-old) descendant product.

This has always puzzled me. The PDT-150 is essentally a closed system, no
expansion bus. And AFAIK it doens'timclude a ADC. So what makes a
mini-MINC a modular _intstrument_ computer. How do you use it to
meaurevoltages or whatever?
