Its arrived bang on my estimate of thursday, I know our next day
parcel guys.......

(seems they only work the 'next day')

Anyhow, powered up and held p1+p2 and I get a selftest chart. yippee!

few pens dry but hell it came with lots of spare pens

So I plugged in the serial cable which I guess previous owner had
already chipped as it had a 9 pin fitted, one less job, this is
looking good!

So I dropped to a command window(xp) and set my comport to 9600 8n1
and copied one fo my previous hpgl files to it........

Oh dear........

It seems to not like anything I send, I have viewed them in 'ableview'
and they look fine to me, but it draws nothing like what it should be
and even eventually goes off the paper.

Oh how I could easily kick the cat.

Anyclues anyone, I had visions of lovely pcb's by the evening.........
