Since I started collecting, originally only Ataris. I've always wanted
a Portfolio and a STacy, but have never had the luck or cash
available to acquire them. I still hang on to a smart parallel
interface hoping the rest of it will turn up.
So some time back, I had this list of all the Portfolio URLs I could
find.
Atari Portfolio FAQ,
http://rzserv2.fh-lueneburg.de:8080/Port/port.faq
Atari Portfolio-System,
http://rzserv2.fh-lueneburg.de:8080/Portfolio
Portfolio Page (UK), Atari Portfolio FAQ,
http://rzserv2.fh-lueneburg.de:8080/Port/port.faq
Atari Portfolio-System,
http://rzserv2.fh-lueneburg.de:8080/Portfolio
Portfolio Page (UK),
http://www.mcc.ac.uk/~dlms/Port/portfolio.html
Portfolio Links,
http://www.port-home.com/portfol/pf_net.htm
Toad Computers (USA) Atari Portfolio!
http://www.ataricentral.com/portfolio/
Wizztronics stuff (64K mem + reader card for PCs),
http://www.wizztronics.com/portfoli%20Main.htm
On inspiration from your msg I checked them out and, of course
none were still in existence altho the Links URL did lead to a
German site with links to the UK Portfolio Club.
I was concerned about the FAQs file and did a search. It returned
the FAQs home and about 10 pages of URLs. More pages I'm sure
than have ever been, on it. The Portfolio does indeed live.
A couple of the key sites are

Hi Jeff,
Go to B&C Atari Sales & Service: www.myatari.com where you will
find ram
upgrades, software, parallel interfaces, serial interfaces and also
look into the HPC drive card interface which hooks up an ISA bus PC to
allow you to download files onto your PC from the internet, copy them
to a Portfolio drive card and then place that card into your Portfolio
as drive C:\ and use that data or program on your Portfolio.

As of today, I'm the happy owner of an
Atari Portfolio. Pretty
neat
little machine, with even a longer battery life than my Tandy 102.
Due to it's small size, not as nice a keyboard though. Does anyone
know where I can get additional 64k or 128k memory cards for it? It
came with the parallel interface. Also, I've been told that the
Portfolio is what was used by John Conner in 'Terminator 2' when he
broke into the ATM and the Cyberdine vault...is this true?
