I am pretty sure I used one of these, or a closely related HP plotter, in one of my internships to make charts for a presentation, using Harvard Graphics on a DOS machine. I remember they looked much better than I expected. It's probably hard to get a sense of the quality of either the plotter's output or, say, the quality of programs like Harvard Graphics without using them together.
