re: "I have an HP7221 plotter which was purchesed in good shape for the right
     price.  Since the 7221 uses the rather old HP binary format I would like
     convert it to a 7220 which is hpgl.  I know this has been done before by
     changing at least the ROM board."

There is a 4-ROM kit still available that will convert your 7221A/B/C/S from
"compact binary language" to HP-GL.  This effectively makes it into a
7220A/C/T.

The kit is HP part number 07221-00020, and has a U.S.list price of $75.00.
Contact your local HP Sales Office.
