i like to buy a vinylcutter to make my own stickers and t-shirts. i'm searching for quite some time but couldn't find anything in my pricerange (under 500$) running under os x. what i found so far are the roland stika plotters, but it seems like these are only os9 compatible. you need a serial to usb cable but it won't work running classic inside os x.

on ebay you can get cheap used plotters but i don't know if they work under os x.
maybe there is a way to run them with gimpprint? or is there software which supports plotters directly and is os x compatible?
any help or advice would be appreciated :-)
