Hi all.
Anybody interested in any of the following?
HP DraftMaster I
HP DraftPro DXL
Both are not really in working order.
I'm guessing the DraftMaster has a problematic chip as it shows all this
rubbish on the screen after you turn it on.
The DraftPro DXL seems to have a mechanical problem. When I first turned it
on, it worked OK and I managed to get the test print out. After that it
started behaving weirdly. It tries to move the 'head' unsuccessfully and
never gets it to where it should go. Very slowly.
Apparently HP people were in a couple of years ago (before I started to
work here) and they said that repairs would be way too costly and buying
something new would be a better option. Of course they would say that - it
is usually true anyway.
I am hoping that someone could revive these on their own. It's a shame to
see them go in the skip, but I do have to get rid of them soon as they take
up too much space. I'd take them home if I had enough space there.
They _are_ big, so I guess you would have to live near London.
I also have some HP 98785A screens (also big), which don't have to go as
urgently as the plotters. I haven't tested them, though, but I will if
anyone wants one.
Nasos.
