CC 40hx 1000 cavo

HX-1000   A beautiful 1983 plotter for the Texas Instruments Compact Computer 40 (CC-40). The HX-1000 plotter connects to the CC-40 via Hexbus cable (8 pin to pin) and features a passthrough for additional Hexbus devices. The HX-1000 uses an ALPS DPG1302 print head assembly. The HX-1000 uses four colored nibs (black, green, red and blue) and 55mm paper as in many calculators. Many other brands of plotters use the same mechanism called ALPS DPG1302 such as: Commodore 1520 Tandy CGP-115 Sharp CE-150 Atari 1020 Mattel Aquarius 4615.
