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?

Does it by any chance look like the following computer?

If so it's a MINC-11.

Cool!
I don't know anything about it, but I'd sure like to! I have a MINC-11.
Any chance you'd consider trading it? Is there anything you're looking for
in particular?

The MiniMinc is a PDT11/150 with the EIS/FIS Microm chips.
I had one and actually tried RT11V5 sysgens on it.
I later used the RT11 Emulator RTEM on the office Vax at DEC to do it
without the headaches...

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.
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.

It did, however, run multiterminal genned RT and MultiUser Basic,
Fortran and Basic+ for RT11.
I used one during the summer of '82 as a smart terminal, and
also for running BASIC. A nice little box.
