Classic HP forums?? - plotter questions

Ashley wrote... Not besides this one ;) You might try Crisis, see www.crisis.com They are great folks, I've delt with them a lot. You might try some of the comp.sys.hp.XXXX newsgroups, I know there is an HP hardware one there that used to have good info (not saying they don't anymore, I just haven't been there in ages). There was also an HP3000 newsgroup that had a lot of grizzled veterans from "back in the day" who may have some info. I just noticed a csd.machines and csd.machines.hp group that could be fruitful just based on the name (I'm assuming csd is Computer Systems Division). I messed with a few HP plotters many many years ago. I seem to recall that their interfaces were bizarrely "multipurpose". You're going to need a manual I bet. I seem to recall that there were option selections in the cable as well as dip switch settings? Whatcha gonna do with your other 72xx plotter? Jay West
