i never found very much out about mine. i had two, one was a minc-23 and the
other was a minc-11. the minc-11 was an LSI cpu board and the minc-23 was a
standard PDP-11 CPu board (don't remember what model) with a very small qbus
(only double wide, like 4 slots or so) that had enough room for the CPU/memory
and the GPIBs that were hooked up to all the stuff on the front. mine weren't
in the cart thing, i didn't have the disks, just the "main" box. interesting
little things, i was really interested in trying to get an OS on them, but
never got around to it. the cases ended up in the garage that caught fire and
burned (taking a VAX 11/730 and a slew of sun2 and sun3 hardware with it) but
i still have most of the boards from them (which were in the house getting
inspected).

just a warning, it's been years since i've even _THOUGHT_ about those things,
so there is a very good chance that i'm not right on some (or all) of the
information.
