Hi
Me have a big problem connecting a plotter to a computer, no1 is able to help me.
Hopefully you can.
I have a draftmaster 7595A
deeply appreciated if you would offer your help.
The usual problem is getting the right cable to connect it to the SERIAL
port of the computer. Joe Campbell's "The RS232 Solution" will teach you
what you need to know to make the cable.
If you connect a serial device to the parallel port of the computer, you
are likely to do some damage.
If your computer only has USB (Useless Serial Botch), then get an older
computer.
Once the cabling is done, then you can start your descent into Driver
Hell, looking for an appropriate driver for it.
