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......... -- Lez
