Hey chaps,
I've an SX12 which packed up for unknown reasons some time ago and I never got around to getting fixed as it's a serial device, and a very old Roland Camm PNC1000 - also serial. I bought it second hand to do much bigger stuff, with an old PC running Corel Draw - which I never got on with, being a lifelong Adobe Illustrator user. As I recall, Roland had drivers for older versions of Illustrator - v10/11 I think, running on XP, but beyond that the trail went cold. I ended up downsaving the newer Illustrator files to a .eps and opening them in Corel.
Never heard about the Inkscape dodge until now. Sounds like a great idea.
Always found the Dr. Stika software limiting as Ian has said - it did seem to cut smaller text much more smoothly than illustrator, despite endless playing with a variety of flatness settings in Illustrator.
I think there are a multitude of newer devices that suit our purposes for very little money these days - like the Craft Robo for instance. Be interested to here what everyone is using.
