Brian, you might try asking at

http://www.webquarry.com/~brentyad/wwwboard/index.html

Generally, once a plotter is off the market there are no new drivers,
unless there is some kind of user's group with enthusiastic meembers.
Your best hope would be that the plotter emulates HPGL. I used to work at
Zeta Graphics, making pen plotters, and that is what I tell folks looking
for Zeta drivers (use HPGL mode, since the company went out of business
before Win95 came out and there are no recent drivers for Zeta's native
GML language)

Best regards,

Randy
