	Didn't DEC once sell something called a MINC?  As I remember, it
was basicly an 11/23 in a funny roll-around chassis with some double-wide
Q-bus slots designed to take analog I/O modules and the like.  Came with
all sorts of nifty peripherals like a card with a bank of 10-turn pots
on it (anybody for /dev/trimpot?)
