Where can I find a cable? Hard to get parts for this old girl...

Huh? Status? I have none!

So, my beloved Graphtec, that I've worked with over 20 years finally crapped out. The ribbon cable started acting up, and I had to jiggle it on the board connector to wake it up. Now it runs RAM check, but stops there. I think it's time to let her go. I'm devastated. This thing was my daily...

Just curious, but does anyone on this site offer to convert logotypes like that in Illustrator? I mean, I could hammer that out as a vector file pretty quick if you don't need the font for something else....

You're very welcome! I needed some karma anyway! My old FC2100 is over 20 years old, and it still works great! I'm cutting out of Adobe Illustrator CS6, using Graphtec's "Cutting Master" software. The old iMac I plug it into is running El Capitan. I'm amazed this plotter, this machine, this...

Hey Jester, the 9-pin cable of yours, are there electronics in it?? I'm wondering if I need a special "translator" of some kind, or something, or can I just create a DB25-to-USB and bypass the 9-pin bits? I'd be surprised if I could, seeing as there are only 4 pins in USB.... UGH!! I really...

Excellent! Thanks Chad, this should help me build a cable. Maybe I can build a single cable? Anyway, here's what I've started: I will post my findings and results, and I'll fill out the numbers for my diagram. Fingers crossed!

Wow! "Tandy"! That's old school Radio Shack! Very cool! :) If I could just get the pin-out diagram for the Graphtec it would help immensely! Anyone have that? I may be able to mimic what you have here, and make my own cable(s).... Is there anything special about that 9-pin-to-USB cable?

Thanks! But that is a DB9, and my plotter is DB25 (RS232C) or PARALLEL... (see the photo)

Hmmm, that might just work! It's worth a $30 gamble. Has anyone else tried this? If I could remove the Keyspan serial-to-USB adaptor (and it's pesky driver) with this cable, I'd be VERY happy! I'll buy this and try it out and report back. *Thank you!!!! :):U Rock:

Hello, Hoping you can offer me advice. I have a Graphtec CuttingProFC-2100 60A plotter that uses a parallel connector (DB25, I believe, I will attach a photo of the cable I’m using). Since OS 10.11 came out, my adaptor no longer works and there is no hope for a new driver from Tripplite (who...

I just installed Illustrator CS6 today, and it tells me it can't load the plugin for Cutting Master 2. Other than that, CM2 seems to be running well on my 2.5Ghz Intel Corei5 iMac.... I tried using the plugins that I used to use on my old PPC Mac, from Illustrator CS2, but they did not work...
