     A friend of mine has an old Radio Shack 6 pen plotter.  The part #
is 26-1191.  He would like to use it with some of the common CAD
programs, such as OrCAD, with an IBM PC AT clone.  The plotter does not
seem to accept the most popular "hp style" plotter file formats.

     Does anyone know of any specific models of other brand plotters which
work like this Radio Shack model?

     Has anyone written drivers for it?

     Please email answers to me.  If there is interest I will post a 
summary of the replies.  Thanks!
