Every normal complex surface singularity with -homology sphere link has a universal abelian cover. It has been conjectured by Neumann and Wahl that the universal abelian cover of a rational or minimally elliptic singularity is a complete intersection singularity defined by a system of ``splice diagram equations''. In this paper we introduce a Neumann-Wahl system, which is an analogue of the system of splice diagram equations, and prove the following.If (X, o) is a rational or minimally elliptic singularity, then its universal abelian cover (Y, o) is an equisingular deformation of an isolated complete intersection singularity (Y0,o) defined by a Neumann-Wahl system. Furthermore, ifGdenotes the Galois group of the coveringY→X, thenGalso acts onY0andXis an equisingular deformation of the quotientY0/G.
