I'm trying to identify a plotter that has managed to wander into the
house.  The label says it was made by Alphamerics.  But the only
Alphamerics website I could find wouldn't admit to knowing anything
about it.  The part nunber is D3001B.  It's a rather large thing,
about 4 feet long by about 1 1/2 feet wide.  At one end there is a
detachable control console with a keyboard, a joystick, a number of
switches, and a tape drive (for tapes roughly but not quite the size
of a standard minicassette).  The frame is rectangular, with an arm
that moves lengthwise down the long side.  This arm goes the full
width.  It appears that a pen unit would atach to this arm onto a
carriage that would move side to side along this arm.  For pen-up and
-down there is a lip on the opposite side of the arm that moves up and
down - appears to be moved by a solenoid.

I know this description isn't the best.  I might be able to get
pictures of the thing, if I can get hold of a digital camera.  But
that's only a vague possibility (depends on how well I can sweet talk
the camera's owner).  I'm really not sure if this thing works at all.
But if it does I would like to put it to use, as cutting and pasting
multiple 8 1/2 x 11 sheets into one full size schematics is rather a
pain.

Thanks.
