Lol yeah!

Ok I have tried once again to output a file with eagle (Set to hpgl)
and copy file to com1: but it went mad again.

I did some googling, found signgo lite, says its for cutting but hey
how does the plotter know.......

So I set that up for hpgl, plotter tries to draw something then goes mad.

I set it for universal, and I have a cutout ouf a cow........

(yes that was my test image, it was the only *.wmf I could find on my
pc to import, seems to not like bmp(?))

Anyhow experimenting with this I have found that xon/xoff has no
effect, rts/cts/ has no efffect, but if I unclick dtr/dsr then then it
starts ok for a about 3 seconds then I get the error led flashing.
