PlotMaster/Control 32 was in it’s final release in 2004. Registered users of Plotmaster/Control may download these updates here:

PlotMaster 32 for Win 95/98: full distribution for first install only (2.79 Mb). NOTE: V1.10 added PC joystick support for digitizing; users below V1.10 must use this full download.

PM32 V1.45: most up-to-date executable (only) for updates after initial installation (.344 Mb).

To Install, Unzip and overwrite old .exe files. Includes new 32 bit executables for PEdit and Quiknest. PM32 is compatible with Windows 95/98. Requires minimum Pentium 266 PC and operates cutters with one or two dedicated printer ports, provided suitable, custom cabling from Carlson Design. The PM32 Word user manual is included in initial distribution zip.

Windows XP users need to install a device driver to give PM32 direct control over the printer port. We recommend Direct I/O shareware available here or on the Direct I/O Website. Find the address range of the printer port you want to use under your Windows XP Control Panel: "System", "Hardware", "Device Manager", find and right-click your Printer Port for "Properties" and record its I/O range (e.g. 0378-037F). Back under Direct I/O, "Add" this beginning and ending range (in Hex). Next, under "Security", browse to find and "Add" M32.EXE. Direct I/O will time out in 30 days if you don't register it ($29). More instructions for Direct I/O LPT usage are located here.
