[comp.sys.mac.system] Trying to connect HP7580B to Mac II

cberg@leadsv.UUCP (Charles R Berg) (06/14/90)

HELP!!  The boss says either make it work or he'll throw it out!

Our Systems Support group found a surplus HP7580B plotter, and they are
trying to make it work from a Mac II.  They are using MacPlot, which has
a selection for the HP7580B, and are able to make marks on the paper, but
its garbage.  One possibility is that the pin-out on the connector is
non-standard.  (Obviously, they didn't find a manual to go with it!)  I
guess another is that baud rate, XON/XOFF or toggle DTR aren't setup correctly.

So, anybody out there got any information that might help them get it
to work?

Thanks in advance for any assistence.
