Hi!

Sorry about the cross-posting, I need an answer! :-) 

We have a Calcomp Plotmaster model 5902ae thermal wax-transfer colour/bw
printer that we would dearly like to connect to a MacIIcx, to print
color PICT files.  The printer has serial and parallel (Centronics) input
ports, and supports both CMY (ie, 3-color, rather than CMYK), and Black
ribbons.

Can anybody tell me if there exists a company that supplies cables and
printer drivers to connect these two together, ala the HP Paintjet?

Alternatively, has anyone written a program to convert between PICT or
colour EPS and the native Calcomp Raster format, to run on a Mac or VAX?

Thanks, Simon.

Please email replies to S.J.Blake@massey.ac.nz, I will summarise if interest
requires.
