I'm sure if it had a IEE488 bus port you would not have asked the question
but, serial works and there are many instruments out there that have serial
as an option. I know this as I'd used a Keithly High resolution DMM with
a external 4 wire switch (also serial control) to build a 10 position
test station.

I got it with
my mini-MINC, essentially a PDT-150. But it came without
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?
