i'm noticing there seems to be a bit of a gauntlet to run in terms of pushing data to it via serial.

I’ve never used period software to plot to it but it’s incredibly easy to use USB to serial adapters to plot to it.

In practice, the biggest issues are the pens are weird and nearly impossible to find. It’s also incredibly slow. The pen holder is essential.
