Niiiice. What I/O modules do you have, and are you using them for anything?
I have a MINC-11 (that's just a MINC), but only one or two lab
modules. I really can't do much with it in its present configuration
except use it as a rather ordinary RT-11 box. I've always wanted to
find some of the modules and do something "interesting" but I can't
imagine what that might be without a pile of boards staring me in the
face imploring me to find a use.

I too have a MINC-11, currently sitting in storage. I hope to
hack on it soon, when I have more space at home.

I actually have 3 MINCs. Two are the RL01 version (one of those has had
the CPU and memory PCBs pulled and one end of a DW11-B inserted to link
it to the 11/45). The other is a MINC-23 (with a PDP11/23 CPU) and an
RX02 drive.
As regards I/O modules, I think the first 2 each have :
MNCAD Analogue to digital converter
MNCAA Digital to analogue converter
2 off MNCDI Digital input
2 off NMCDO Digital output
MNCKW Clock
The last one has
MNCTP Thermocouple amplifier
MNCAG amplifier (current/voltage/resistance inputs)
MNCAD Analouge to digital converter
MNCAA Digital to analouge converter
MNCDI Digital input
MNCDO Digitial output
MNCKW Clock
I am particularly pleased that I have more than one clock, since 2 in the
same machine can be used to make a frequency counter.

I have a few sets of the MNC boards left, and most of the Q-bus boards.
Please feel free to contact me off list.
