Re: Direct PCB Plot - would it be helpful?

Hi Jack,

Yes! I'd be interested. I still have my HP7475 from '85, although I
use it only occasionally. Laser printers do such a good job on
schematics now! What "code" do you have? I hate to see them piled up
as surplus, makes me want to take them home with me, and give them a
good home!

All things HPGL would be welcome!
