I have an HP 54111D digitizing oscilloscope, and I do exactly that
with some frequency to my HP 7550A. Lately I've become enamored with
talking to the scope via Agilent VEE, as that works pretty nicely,
but it's slow as pissing tar when running on a "real" x86 box...it's
even worse under an emulator.

As difficult
as it is to find information on vintage terminals, its
even harder to find information on vintage pen plotters. A pen
plotter was about the only form of graphical output you could expect
to see on a vintage graphics system as film recorders were very
expensive.
That reminds me with Dave talking about the HP 54201D scope, one of
the cool things you would do with that is hook it up to an HP GPIB
plotter and it could draw the screen and captured waveforms on the
plotter. I've done that, but I forget which model HP plotter I have.
