We used to call that pen-plotter in the old days:

And yes, I still have an A3 serial pen plotter.

Also, there used to be "portable plotters", see here:

In the old times we used pencil stubs, ink pens, felt tip pens, and almost anything that could leave a sign behind.

Nothing new under the sun....

Can you still use it with your default OS or do you need to mantain some old version of Windows to use it?

What do you mean "use"?

Install as a "system printer"?

No, it's a serial, you just send data to the port using an HPGL DOS program (it may be possible to find some Windows drivers but never bothered).
I am talking of something that was already outdated when Win95 came out.

Very similar to this simple thingies:

I know when the heyday of plotters was. That's why i ask. But if you just use it as a paperweight, the question becomes obsolete.

The problem is not winning or losing, it's the thought of having a "split pot" with you that's preoccupying.
