Want to upgrade to OSX, but phased (10 x macs over 2 offices - old macs to be replaced, so too expensive to do it all at once).
Currently running VW10 on OS 9.2 plotting to a Xerox 2230ij via a dedicated plotter server mac with Macplot Raster. All currently runs fine.
My options as I understand it are as follows:
1: upgrade to Microspot X-RIP - but then can it work with OS9 as well?
2: change plotters to HP500 which has the jetdirect server - presume it can work with OS9, but a very expensive option as we would have to replace the plotter in each office.
3. upgrade to PC's and ditch the Macs (not my preferred option!)
Only once I resolve the plotting can we firstly consider upgrading computers, then consider upgrading to VW11.

Any ideas?
