The one I had for a couple hours, only had one or two boards in it. That
and the size is why I quickly traded it. Realistically I only bought it for
the RX02, so trading for an RX02 was a good deal.
On a related note, I have a couple standard q-bus boards (I forget if they
are A/D or D/A), but they are usable in a 16-bit system. :-(

A MINC is a lot more than just a PDP-11!
While that's certainly true, has anyone on the list ever done anything
with the Lab I/O stuff on a MINC? I got one years ago with all the
docs and software (everything, really, except for the cart, which the
lab kept for something else). Mine only has one or two modules - a
clock board and one of the input boards (I'd have to check the exact
types), but since I didn't have much, I've only ever booted RT-11 and
noodled around on the VT105. ISTR the CPU bay is stuffed with a
KDF-11, 256K of memory, an RXV21, a DLV11J, and an IBV11.
Over the years, I've been given plenty of Qbus parts, but I've never
run across any loose MINC modules. I'm curious if anyone else ever
got a MINC loaded enough to do something fun with it.
