I have an HP 7470 plotter that has an IEEE interface that I would like to  
use with my PC.  One company offered to sell me a cable that would hook it
up to the printer port for $80.  Being a cheap student I would rather make
the cable myself.  Does anyone know the layout of such a cable?  My other 
question is if this setup would require a device driver for the printer port?

Thanks for any help
