GSP SPRINT PLOTTER DIRECT FROM PC? WILL IT WORK?

Posted by Karl Williams on 30 November 2008 at 21:33

I know when i used a Graphix 4b from a pc it had to run from an LMK module. Does anyone know if the plotter from the sprint will run direct from a pc or not?

Cheers,
Karl.

Hello Chris,
Yes, the Advantage and Omega software will run it, But i’m not sure if I need and LMK module (adapter) to make it work. The Sprint was a stand alone unit before pc’s came out.

The computer and monitor in the pic are correct Chris but they were connected to a plotter. I’m trying to find a pic now.

now going back a very long time.
i think it was a sprint plotter was sent to me to try against some dos software. because of other software playing up.
end result was memory dodgy here ran DMPL on a serial cable to the old houston plotter pin outs.

so summa settings may work think they only had a serial connect.

forget all the above it was not one of these

I’ve got one coming. Would be nice just to plug it in and play. But I don’t think that will happen cos it never does! 😕 😕 🙄
The other thing is I like a bit of nostalgia. These machines are what I trained on years ago.
