 I've just got hold of a DEC MiniMINC - supposedly an LSI/11 woth 2 8"
 floppy drives (I've not had a good look at it yet as I've spent all day
 installing Solaris 8 on the SPARCstation 10 I picked up at the same time
 ;). Anyone have any more information about this beast?  
If it's the machine I think it is, it's closely related to the PDT11/150. 
There is an LSI11 in there, but with some odd (by PDP11 standards) 
peripherals. 
Nope, It's an LSI-11/02 Qbus machine woith a small cage and rack
and RX01(maybe an 02).  You need Qbus for the varions analog IO
and digitial IO cards.

...
 I am not sure how the miniMINC differes from a
PDT11/150. By rights, the 
miniMINC should have some kind of 'lab' I/O (ADC, etc), but I have no 
details of that. 
The PDT11/150 has no user bus and the oly IO is serial.  It is however 
the same LSI-11 chip set but no provision for the EIS/FIS.  Yes, I know 
you can piggy back one of the microms to do that but the board only 
has 4 40 pin sockets that are filled where the LSI-11/03 Qbus board has 5.
