Well, it looks like there is demand for the pens of the Epson HI-80,
but I've received no current information on the HP-GL board or ROM
for the HI-80, or for Hanzon Data Inc, who used to make the
GL boards, and who also made boards to interface Epson printers
to Macintosh. If this rings a bell, please send E-mail.

To approach a different route: the Epson HI-80 is compatible with
Western Graphic, WATANABE, and Graphtech Myplot II plotters.
But there does not seem to be any drivers available for these
plotters for IBM-PC packages, such as Harvard Graphics. 
Is anybody familiar with these plotters at all? I know that
the Western Graphics plotter is used for CAD, but not much more.

Any body know where a collection of drivers for these plotters are
or know where is information about how to write a driver for
these plotters to work with various PC packages?
