Exclamation Gerber S/750

Hello i have a Gerber S/750 Vinyl cutter and pen plotter, and It shows only GSP and S/750 on it. now my questions are the following. Is it possible to use this plotter on a newer computer. Does it require a dongle. Can i reconfigure my own cable to allow connection to a newer computer. And what Free software can i use to operate this cutter plotter. Also will i need to replace the electronics to be able to use it on a newer computer? it has a 8. pin round plug connection that i believe goes directly into a computer. I have a powermac 5400/180 that came with it but no proprietary keyboard for that computer which is why i want to use a newer computer. I am also short on cash which is why i would like to use free software and free solutions if possible.

well its been a little while since ive posted but ive been consantly working on the cutter... I have managed to get 2 axes working well enough to draw out some test plots. But for some reason as soon as i connect the 3rd or 4th driver to a motor (all connected to pc psu) the PSU shuts down. i have managed to get 2 working for a bit last night drawing out 2 test plots fairly well... with just a duct tape pen mount. but then the same thing happened the PSU tripped. maybe i need to connect to a different PSU for the 5 volt for the steppers or maybe i should drive them with 12 volts. anywho back to work for me
