Anyone have any experience with Mr Slim type (mini split?) A?C systems-
– do they come in heat pump models
– can they power more than one inside wall cooler unit?
I have a regular a/c heat pump upstairs (3 main rooms0 and all the ducts are in the attic- seems the mini split thing would get the dicts out of the hot attic

I installed a Fujitsu mini split system in my house 3 years ago. It does have the heat pump option, and 1 outdoor unit runs 3 indoor units very nicely. (2 @ 9k btu, 1 @ 18k btu)
I am not familiar with the mr. slim brand, but would highly recommend the fujitsu.

I only have experience with a single indoor/outdoor unit setup to air condition a 350 SF detached office. It's a heat pump (Hitachi) and it works well down to the low cutoff temperature of 17F. When outside temps drop below that, I have to use an electric heater.
I have run a 2ton Mr Slim for over a year. It is great, quiet and efficient.They do make heat pumps and they do make multi head units, although they are not cheap compared to the single unit type.
They do come in heat pump models.
There are multiple evaporator zones available from a single condenser.
