Folks
I just purchased this Epson HI-80 plotter and whilst I can find a little
bit about it on the net, I can't find a manual any where. Has any one
got one lurking they would be willing to copy for me?

Epson has a large archive of stuff on their ftp server at
ftp://ftp.epson.com/ and there is always a chance that there may be a
manual for it buried there somewhere. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to
be a proper index of the ftp server so it has been a challenge finding
documentation for my various Epson disk drives and printers.

Thanks for that pointer I have had a good search but found nothing that
old. It also looks like its the same plotter as the Tektronix HC100.
There are a couple of manuals for this on US E-Bay but for all of them
the total price for purchase and shipping to the UK comes out at three
times the cost of the plotter, which is a lot to pay when I don't even
know if the command set is the same...

It never hurts to send a note to tech support at companies like Epson -
I've often had success with getting PDFs of manuals that are not online
by asking nicely...
