  The software I am looking for are the MINC software packages FEP (Fortran Enhancement
Package) V2.1 and FRP (Fortran Real_time Package) V1.0. Also SSP V1.3 (Scientific
Subroutines Package) and LSP V1.2 (Laboratory Subroutines Package) would be great to find
as well. These all run under RT-11 and I understand that there was also a version (V1.1)
of FEP and V1.0 of FRP that ran under RSX11M which would be fantastic to find as I am more
interested in RSX11M. This is based on documents in the MINC folder in the bitsavers
online archives.

 I have some MINC hardware (also a MINC/23 I think) and software, but it
 does not look like I have what you are looking for.

 What I do have images of (except for the one marked "(Bad)" that seem
 likely MINC related:

 I have had several folks express the desire for them. Over the day or
 few days (we have a gathering coming up tomorrow, and not sure I will
 get to it today, so it could be as late as next week), I will load them
 up on my Google drive in a directory structure analogous to what
 bitsavers uses, and send out the link.

Jay,
   Thank you so much for putting the RX01 and RX02 images on your Google drive. This
afternoon I was able to download them all and in RT11/Simh copy all the files to a large
DU: type drive to both verify that the disk images downloaded correctly and to put
everything in one convenient volume to load on a microSD card for the SCSI2SD transfer to
a real PDP-11. I didn't notice any file names duplicating as I combined the contents
of the floppies and if that the case there were 168 files on the RX01s and 64 files on the
RX02s with a combined size of 3976 blocks. 

   Browsing through the files I saw lots of great example code for a wide range of
scientific routines!! Thanks again for taking the time to put the files out there.

Thanks again!!
Mark
