As somebody who grew up with TRS-80s (M1, them CoCo II, then M3, CoCo III

some of it...
Don't worry Tony, I won't be chucking and Tandy stuff but if I
suddenly need the room I know where you are :)
I already have 3 MINCs... But seriosuly, I am suprised
nobody wants it.
It's a normal Q18 system really (11/03 or 11/23 processor card) with
(normally) GPIN (IBV11 card) and some interesting I/O modules (ADC, DAC,
etc). Quite fun toy. Anybody looking for a PDP11 should consider this.
Happily I might have a taker for the MINC, possibly two. Hopefully
it'll go to someone braver than I who will power it up... now I need
to find the box with the software in. which includes BASIC. I never
got the VT105 or VT125 for it though, but it DID come with a DECwriter
III that I took on as a restoration project that never got off the
ground thanks to having to move house a couple of times...
