huh. Many years ago the folks at Carleton College in Northfield MN
had a 1620 with a CalComp plotter. I've often wondered about that
plotter.
They had some really nice 3d software (written by a guy who went to
my high school, I think) which could duplicate the "hat" drawing
on the side of the plotter.
The rumor was that the Calcomp install tech bet him he couldn't do
it :-)
I have no info, sadly. I used it a little but that was it.
