Used in various publishing environments, it was also offered with DECset, Digital's VAX/VMS 3.x native mode OEM version of the [[Datalogics]] Pager automated batch composition engine. When VT173 inventory was exhausted in 1985, Digital discontinued DECset and transferred its customer agreements to Datalogics. (HP now uses the name HP [[DECset]] for a software development toolset product.)[[File:DEC-MINC-23.jpg|thumb|MINC-23 laboratory computer|229x229px]] {{anchor|MINC-11}} * [[MINC-11]] β Laboratory system based on 11/03 or 11/23;<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.binarydinosaurs.co.uk/Museum/Digital/minc/index.php |title=Digital MINC-11 |publisher=Binary Dinosaurs |access-date=2014-04-14}}</ref> when based on the 11/23, it was sold as a 'MINC-23', but many MINC-11 machines were field-upgraded with the 11/23 processor. Early versions of the MINC-specific software package would not run on the 11/23 processor because of subtle changes in the instruction set; MINC 1.2 is documented as compatible with the later processor. * [[C.mmp]] β Multiprocessor system from [[Carnegie Mellon University]].

The RTI has two serial line units: one connects to the VAX environmental monitoring module (EMM) and the other is a spare that could be used for data transfer. The RTI also has a programmable peripheral interface (PPI) consisting of three 8-bit ports for transferring data, address, and control signals between console and the VAX console interface.<ref>{{cite book |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |title=VAX 8500/8550 System Hardware User's Guide |publisher=Digital Equipment Corporation |pages=1β8 |date=1986 }}</ref> * [[DEC T-11|T-11]] is a microprocessor that implements the PDP-11 instruction set architecture.
