Hai, Perhaps you have the article copy with you
please indicate the name of the article and year and Month of publication. The software will generally have a reference number and indicated in the parts list and also in the text portion.
please give additional info.

Thanks for the reply Sarma.
The only reference found was :
In dutch it was called the Mondriaan Plotter.
Elektor magazines published some articles in :
May 1988 and June 1988.and March 1990
((((Elektor plotter driver Version 1.0 copyright by Elektor 1989((((
in 1990 they stil used Version 1.0
its been told that MR.Lewetz back then wrote the driver for this Plotter.
REF:
Finally,in September 1991 Elektor published another
plotter driver,this time written in Turbo Pascal &
supporting 17HPGL commands.
Supplied on a 360 kb 5.25 inch floppy disk and later on 3.5 inch.
It turned out to be a huge sale succes!
on the part list provided with the mark2 package did not say anything about the reference wich software is used!
only the reference on the WWW is my only help
I have e-mailed Elektor because of the renewd article about this plotter , but they couldn`t help ,
I should try my luck on this Forum.
the Elektuur from the NL has the same info about this machine so no backup for a Beginner like me to write my own Driver.
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. Try reading the floppy on a relatively new drive, if accessible to you.
Is there No reference number for the software floppy?
If the article has a reference, the software must be available as download also. Those days many a software were available as downloads.

Hi ,
Well the only file that worked on the floppy ,
was worthless no helpfull information.
the only reference about the driver is V1.0
nothing left on the net ,Nada.
the company that made a set for this plotter is long gone,
and nobody seems to know anything about it.
I think i have to Learn Turbo Pascal.
And write my own Software.
Best Regards,
Rajko
