MicroNote
From Computer History Wiki
MicroNotes (originally spelt μnote) were a series of short, very detailed notes on complex technical issues from DEC; primarily about hardware, but some were about software. They were mostly about QBUS PDP-11's, their bus, and its devices; but a few were about QBUS VAX systems.
There were two sets; an original set (notionally of 111, but the re-print set below apparently contains 116), and a second set, labelled "OEM MicroNotes" (containing 41).
