Re: Direct PCB Plot - would it be helpful?

Hi Jack,

Yes!  I'd be interested.  I still have my HP7475 from '85, although I
use it only occasionally.  Laser printers do such a good job on
schematics now!  What "code" do you have?  I hate to see them piled up
as surplus, makes me want to take them home with me, and give them a
good home!

All things HPGL would be welcome!
