Homebrew PCBs

I got chucked out the site with the bandwidth exceeded call back in an
hour message, been trying to see it for days now!

I did see the main page with the picture of the completed plotter but
not the more detailed pages, so I would like to ask a few questions
here!

Does it work on XP?

Does it need special software and intelligent controller board for the motors?

Can the parafin be changed to something else, say a etch resistant marker pen?
