Some time ago our college bought a Rolland DXY 88OA 8 pen plotterfor use on a
CAD drawing and modelling program called Design Dimensions Version 1.8 ,later
updated to Design version 2.(A product of Visual Information Inc.,California)
The program runs from a Mac II.

Since that time we have been unable to find a way to make the plotter fuction
properly under this program,despite the fact it will plot under the same
protocol conditions using the Versacad drafting package.
We have tried a number of cable connections based on the diagrams in the plotter
manual and standard Macintosh connections without sucess.We have also run the
Dimensions package through a Mac Plot driver using both HP.and Roland settings.
We do not want to have to transfer files over to Versacad which is,we have
found a workable but long winded solution.

Is there anyone out there who has had similar problems,and who might have hit
on the right connections.
