Cohill) Distribution: na Organization: Virgina Tech, Blacksburg, VA Keywords: Levco, prodigy, plotters Does anyone have any experience hooking up H-P plotters to Macs? We are getting a lot of wierd garbage printing out, probably because we do not have the right cable. Does anyone know what Apple cable works? We would prefer not to buy H-P cables, since they have a bad habit of costing $60+. I just inherited an SE with a Levco Prodigy accelerator card in it. Did I miss something, or did Levco go out of business? Can't find an add for their stuff anywhere. I want to see if it is possible to put a video daughterboard on their card so I can attach a big screen on this lil critter. If Levco has gone belly-up, can anyone recommend a replacement accelerator card with the option to attach a big screen monitor? Please send all replies directly to me. cohill@vtserf.cc.vt.edu ---------------------------------------------------- Everyone should learn to program using punched cards.... ----------------------------------------------------

Whenever I've hooked up Macs to HP plotters, I've found that it takes an ImageWriter I cable; Imagewriter II cables will not work, nor will "standard" serial cables. Darryl E.
