The default format for restart files is netcdf, which will often by
smaller than a formatted form. Use the "file" command to see which
files are formatted ("ASCII") and which are not ("data").

[The ntxo variable controls the format of restart files; but we
recommend sticking with the default unless you know you have a good
reason not to.]

How did you conclude that the min1 restart file is not compatible with
the prmtop file?
