Most minis -- PDP8, PDP11, P800 series, etc (it's
very rare to find a
disk drive that mounts in the CPU box on such machines, although it may
share a rack with the CPU)
If you extend the definition of PDP-8 and PDP-11 to include DECMateIIs,
and DECmate IIIs, then you've got the 5.25" floppy in the box. Same goes for BA-23 and BA-213-based PDP-11s (the
MicroPDP line) - RX50
right there. For OMNIBUS and UNIBUS boxes, though, you are correct.
On the other hand, I must be going senile. I'd totally forgotten about
the BA23, etc. I think I have to consider the MicroPDPs and MicroVAXen as
minis. I could probably concoct a defintion where they were not, but that
would be cheating.
