It's difficult to define 'mini' IMHO. I tend to claim a 'mini' is a
machine smaller than a mainframe (i.e. I can fit it in the house!) but
where the CPU is not a single chip, or a single chipset (which would make
it a micro). Unfortunately that makes the 11/23 a micro, which is curious
to say the least.

I know the MDS800 well, and it's certainly a micro. I have one, with the
double-density disk controller, 8080 ICE cards, Universal PROM Programmer
(which is controlled by a 4040), etc. It's based on the 8080, of course.
