Y'know, I love this thing. It was my first handheld computer back in the early 90s. Sadly, all it's doing is sitting in my closet, forcing me to re-examine its usefulness to me, and as much as I love it, I think it would be better off it the hands of someone who can get more enjoyment out of it. So, here's what this package consists of:
- Atari Portfolio in excellent cosmetic and functional condition, including user manual, quick reference card, original box (a bit on the beat up side) and styrofoam. (3 AA batteries not included)
- AC adapter
- THREE 64K memory cards with good CR2016 batteries installed. One has some cool stuff installed on it. Each includes original plastic case, care guide and labels.
- Parallel port adapter in original box with manual, plastic tray and 5.25" software disk. (Don't ask me if the disk still works; I don't have a 5.25" drive and never had to use it anyway)
In case you're wondering, yes, it is possible to transfer stuff to the Portfolio using the parallel port adapter, but you'll have to do it in an environment that supports a real DOS environment such as Windows 98. Or an Atari ST -- I understand there's Portfolio transfer software for that, too. I managed it via an old laptop I had lying around and it worked great (if slow -- hey, this is 15-year old technology here icon_smile.gif)
Everything is in awesome condition and all works perfectly. There are no missing bits, either -- the expansion port cover is still there. See the pics for more detail.
Looking to get about US$80.00 for the lot. Only PayPal and (for us Canucks) E-Mail Money Transfer accepted, and if anyone happens to live in or near Brampton, ON, local pickup is available too. Otherwise buyer pays shipping.
