Tony,
I haven't hooked it up to any system because I dont have any system
to hook it up to.
That is sort of my second question; if I would buy a modern PCI GPIB
card would I be able to make it work with the 7580A or other similar devices ?

I dug up a HP 7580A and hooked it up, it seems to work fine.
But the question is now, how do I make it do anything, WITHOUT a system ?
Pressin pen down doesn't do much, and although I can move left and
right I cant make it move the paper forward and backward.
Are you saying these functions do work correctly from the computer
interface (in other words you can send it (presuambly) an HPGL file and
get it to plot it correctly?).
If so, have you checked that that the frontpanel buttons are actually
making proper contact?
