I have in mind to connect a machine to an IBM 1627 (CALCOMP 565) plotter
and then the XY11 which just arrive would fit nicely, I think.
But I cannot seem to find any manual for the XY11. Anyone know of a manual?
The board is rather simple so it should be possible to work out the details
on how to interface it by hand but it would be nice to have the proper
manual.
Then for software I found a diagnostic, XXYAD0 that supposedly should draw
a square and a rectangle.
Anyone know of other drawing software that uses the XY11

The book 'The Minicomputer in the Laboratory' by James W Cooper covers using an
X-Y plotter with an 11/05, and has assembly listings and a whole bunch of related
stuff about scientific plotting. Also a lot of info on using the LPS-11 too.
There are plenty of copies out there and quite cheap too. It's an excellent book
and could be of use to you.

Surely there is a copy of CalComp Host Computer Basic Software (HCBS) around somewhere
that talks to the XY11. After all the Calcomp is pretty thick. All it can do is move 1
step at once, well it can do diagonals as well, but pretty thick...

Sorry Dave, i replied in Swedish to the list, my answer was really
directed to Mattis (and the other ?swedish speaking members....)
It seems that in Swedish university libraries exists three examples
(search thru libris.kb.se.) Mattis can borrow the book from Ume? thru
?Kungliga biblioteket i Kungstr?dg?rden (Stockholm.)
Swedish libraries has an agreement to facilitate "fj?rrl?n" (remote
borrowing.)
