I have posted this before and have received a couple of suggestions
to resolve it with hardware, but I would prefer to use a software
solution if I can.

  I need a buffer that will be able to use extended memory for 
  sending fairly large amounts of data to a plotter so that we
  can regain the use of the computer.  Some of these plots can 
  take from 30min to 1 1/2 hrs.  The ability to access from 1 meg.
  to whatever meg. happens to be avaliable in extended would release
  us because the time required is a function of the plotter not the
  data transfer.

Many thanks to those who have responded so far, and to anyone taking
the time to respond now.
