Terry,

Can you give details? If so, I'm sure someone here, maybe me, can help you out. I use an old HP7475 "E" size monster myself. These old things can be quite nice, but it can be hard to get supplies - pens, etc. And drivers for older models can be a significant issue. HP no longer updates the driver for the one I use, so I have to maintain at least one Windows 98 machine since W98 contains the last publicly available driver for that model.

I run DesignCAD under windoze, but there are options for the MAC as well. You should not have to shell out for AutoCAD!

Good Luck,

Randy
