You may also be interested to note that in later releases of MINC 1.x (and 2.x)
you could achieve the same result as above without dd via the -swap_bytes option
in rawtominc.

ie:

   # rawtominc -coronal -byte -unsigned  -ystep 1 -zstep 1 -xstep 1 \
       -mri -origin 0 0 0 -range 0 255 -real_range 0 255 \
       -clobber -swap_bytes -input eih0060t1.al0 \
       temp.mnc 256 256 256
