Interesting. I never heard of Mini-RSTS before. Looks like a marketing hack; it's
basically just a standard RSTS-11 system, a close to minimal configuration. All they had
to do is slap a name of it and print a new piece of paper, and presto, the appearance of a
new product.
On the other hand, "Micro-RSTS", which appeared much later, is a different item;
it involved some (fairly modest) changes in the software and its packaging and
installation procedures).

I wonder if this MINI-RSTS/BASIC-PLUS was a marketing response to HP's timeshared
BASIC system for the 2100s.

Judging by what it advertises, probably 1972, maybe 1973. Unlikely to be later than
that.

This brochure came with a bunch of other which had a accompanying personal
latter from the sales person at DEC. This letter is dated 1973-11-27.
The other brochures include
* 1,000,000 Students - a 32 page document which lists installations at
universities and different sorts of colleges in USA.
* "Hans On" Digital Logic and Computer Interfacing - thin leaflet
* CAI Author Language on RSTS-11
* Huntington II Simulation Program - POLUT
* Edusystem 25 - leaflet
* Edu #7 - some kind of magazine that seems to be sent to educational
institutions - 44 pages.
* LAB11 - color leaflet - Front page with lady using a LA30 in front of a
Greenish 11/20 and a Red / Green color VR20 screen
When I get time I will try to scan more of these documents if there are
interest.
