Free Roland XY Plotter
I have a relatively ancient Roland single-pen XY plotter (B-size, or 11" x 17")
that has been sitting in the hangar wrapped in plastic for at least 15 years. It was at one time the top of the line and is accurate as you can make the pen line. It uses india-ink pens, and as I recall, you can use a regular KohInOor pen in the holder. The language is either Roland or HPGL. As I recall, it used the parallel port and also had an RS-232 interface, but I'm not sure about the serial port part. It sits flat on a desktop. When I packed it up it worked perfectly and I believe all the documentation that came with the unit is still with the unit. I'm not saying that 15 years in a hot/cold hangar hasn't taken its toll, but you can't beat the price. It is free with one caveat: You have to pick it up at Grass Valley CA airport over this weekend. No shipping. If I have to ship it, I'll list it on ebay come Monday morning and make a few bucks on the deal for the hassle of packaging it up. Free until then. I'm headed out right now and won't be back until this afternoon, but if you want it, or can have one of your friends from the Sacramento area pick it up for you, email me and I'll email you back -- first postmark, first served. Please don't call -- the person answering the phone will have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Jim Jim Weir (A&P/IA, CFI, & other good alphabet soup) VP Eng RST Pres.
