There is indeed a Radio Shack pen equivalent; a guy who used to live around here had a 1520 and that's where he got his pens. You might be able to just carry in a blank and match it up. >> -What software is it comparable with. >...the only software I've seen that took >advantage of the plotting abilites was homebrew stuff.

I seem to recall that FlexiDraw 5.5 would talk to it, as well as to another, similar little plotter, the name of which escapes me. FlexiDraw isn't a great paint programme, but it's not too bad. Its printer support is truly excellent. I own a Diablo C150 (parallel port colour inkjet), which I'd not seen anything support in C64/128 land (I use it on my Amiga), but Flexidraw supported it out of the box. - R'ykandar -- | "Signature V1.2.1.2..." | phoenix@ms.uky.edu | phoenix@ukma.bitnet | | "Got enough addresses, bub?" | CIS 72406,370 | PLink: Skywise | | "Alms!
