Hi Eric,
First of all: Yes - you can log in to eBay.de with your .com account. It is no
problem. Why my stuff doesn't show up on ebay.com, I don't know: I haven't seen

I am trying to connect my IIc to my laptop through ADTPro and am

The host computer is an HP Elitebook running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.

Hello friends of vintage computing,
As I need the space at home, I am parting from some of my vintage gear. They
have all been listed on EBAY.DE.
Among others, there are two PDP11 V03 systems, a number of CRT terminals and
others. Have a look and see if you find something of interest.

I booted up RT-11 5.6, my install was done from original 5.6 floppies. I don’t
find any sign of the DD driver, that could be because my /73 doesn’t have a
TU58 drive, and I’m not sure where the floppies are right now. Booting 5.7 I
find DD.MAC, my 5.7 install was from an original tape.
