So you got just what you asked for, an Atari Portfolio. It is a great little
computer. It can do many wonderful things. A natural addition, to make it
ever so much more useful is the serial interface. This lets you "see the
world", or at least listen to it.
Terrific! You feverishly open the boxes, throw away the documentation and lo
and behold, there is no serial port software in the machine. The file transfer
utility is only for the parallel port.
In an attempt to enable the loading of these programs in an orderly and simple
fashion, I have prepared the accompanying files. Credit goes to Jim Strauss,
I believe, for XTERM1.COM, BINHEX.COM, HEXBIN.COM and CHKSUM.COM. I have added
PFLOAD.EXE, PFBOOT.BAT and LOAD.BAT. Together, the process is nearly foolproof
Okay you fools, prove me wrong). I have taken the liberty of bundling these
programs together for ease of downloading, especially for novices. Oh Yes, all
programs are MS-DOS compatible.
To load, simply connect the serial cable, start both machines and type (on PC):
PFBOOT [ENTER]
The programs prompt you when necessary.
For further assistance and/or questions:
