The smallest one I recall was put together by John Crowell,
and was based on an 11/21 "Falcon" board.   My memory is a
bit hazy (hey, it was 30 years ago!), but it had one or two
TU58 drives and ran RT-11 (anyone who knows John would not
be surprised by that).   Since it was used for collecting
data in the field, he called it the Field-11.

Somewhere in my archives I have a magazine article about it.

I'm sure there were even smaller ones based on the T-11 chip.
