I have done some reading on these machines.
They will should run using the HPGL drivers, just like a printer doing graphics.
You should be able to just load the windows drivers for HPGL and go.
I have an older machine the 3400 but the EP controller had problems. (the motherboard CMOS battery had corroded and damaged the motherboard)
I tossed it and rewired the motor driver board directly to the printer port.
Now I run the machine directly from my computer using MACH3.
I just finished figuring out the limitswitches last night and got them configured also so I can do homing. If anyone needs the schematic I built for doing this rewiring let me know and I can email it to you.
