[time-nuts] Prologix GPIB adapter w/Tektronix TDS320

[J. Forster]

Hardly a surprise. Plotters use HP-GL. HP and Tektronix have been
competitors for decades. HP won and Tek was sold out to corporate pirates.

Tek had Plot 10, but it was incompatible with just about everything else.
AFAIK, only Tek gear ran Plot 10.

On my Tek TDS the resolution of the bitmap is terrible. I'll take a 465
and digital camera any day, and twice on Sundays.

Best,
