I didn?t realize the PDT-11/150 was considered a MiniMINC, as I thought it was targeted at
business environments. I have one, but no software for it, and it needs, at a minimum, a
new power switch, as the one it has is broken off. I had a MINC-11 years ago, and sadly
promptly traded it to Jim Willing for an external RX02 pair of drives.

Correct, neither the MINC-11 nor MiniMINC had a network interface. I used to own a
MiniMINC (PDT-11/150) years ago.
It's serial only. The MINC, I believe, was just an 11/03 with serial ports, A/D and
D/A, and GPIB (oh, and dual floppies).
They were both meant for lab work and analyzing and graphing sampled data, and had no
networking capability. Given that, I'm confused as to how any MINC documentation would
mention DECnet and RSX11S, unless there was some later version of the system that I'm
not aware of.

All,
I have a question on DECnet for RT-11. Documentation that came with a MINC-11 says
that RT-11 had a Phase III compatible DECnet. Does anyone out there happen to have a copy
of it? It would be great to be able to connect my MINC-11 as an end-node and transfer
files to my 11/83.
I?ve been searching for a copy for nearly 20 years. As I understand it, it only
supported serial lines, not ethernet.
