I did have one of these many years ago that I interfaced to a homebrew 6809
system ... but I think all the documentation went to whoever bought the
plotter from me.

I do still have a box of the paper and possibly some pens.
However, the paper is here in the UK and very heavy so shipping to to USA is
likely to be very high ... and if I can still find the pens they will be
over 20 years old and thus likely to have dried up. I can look if you
want.
