Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] CNC'd drafting machine?

Hello Group,
I've got a CalComp Design Mate Model 3036 plotter that I bought from a
friend for $100. It seems to fire up OK but I can't get it to
communicate with my computer. I've got the current drivers but I guess
I'm not smart enough to make it work. If there is someone in this group
that lives in the Minneapolis area and would like to have it for free
they would be welcome to it. Please contact me off list at
wjb1060@... to arrange a pickup time.
Bill
