Hello again,

> > Another item I keep forgetting about is a digital MINC-11.

I actually had time to go check this box out and here is what I found.
It is set up like Tony and Jerome said. Here are the cards in the MINC:

M8012-YA Q-BUS TERMINATOR

MNCAD A/D converter
MNCKW Clock

M8043 DEC DLV11-J Four-Line Asynchronous Serial Interface
M8659 VT71 BUS GRANT BRD
M8659 VT71 BUS GRANT BRD
M7954 INTERFACE LSI11 BUS TO INST.
M8029 RXV21, Q-BUS RX02 INTERFACE
M8044DB MSV11-Dx (M8044-Dx) 4KW-32KW w/o parity
M7270 DEC KD11-HA LSI-11/2 CPU

I checked the voltage stuff. The MINC has a switch with a flip plate for
120V. No problem there. The RX02 does not have any provision for
switching voltages/frequency as Tony points out. This makes me wonder
even more about how this thing made it to Madison WI. We may never know.
:)

Anybody want to pay shipping to a country where the RX02 drives could be
used? :O

Thanks for the info.

Later,
        Jon
