Im interested in using my Mac along with appropriate software to drive a pen plotter for producing artwork for printed circuit board layout. I'm willing to purchase a Mac II if that increases my options. I need names of software, and pen plotter manufacturers that offer a system solution to design and layout.E-mail to tomb@tekirl.tek.com Thanks for the help, Tom Buzak Tektronix Laboratories

Your best bet for getting the Mac to plot is with a HP plotter (RS232 option for small plotters and any of the big plotters). The best plotter driver currently available is MacPlotts II from Computer Shoppe in Greensboro N.C.. has routines for pen changes (read colours). I have been using MacPlottsII with various HP plotters for about 2 years now (I use a 512K Mac at work), and have forund it to be an exellent application. The manual could use some help, but phone call have always produced cuterous fast help. I have no connection with Computer Shoppe other then as a satisfied customer and have a connection with HP plotters via a profit sharing check (buy them HP plotters- good products!!)
