Has anyone out on the net hooked up an HP plotter to an ST via the RS232 port? I have tried without success. The two instruments are communicating but there is a handshaking problem. I set up both the computer and the plotter for XON/XOFF handshaking but the plotters buffer would still over run and shortly after the plot started the drawing became a mess. I then tried hardwire handshaking but the HP plotter (7470) uses DSR/DTR and the ST is missing the DSR line. Is there something obvious that I am missing? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Walter Wilinsky (blaise)
