Thanks Curt...I've checked them out and they do have quite a lot of stuff. Other than the parallel interface, both boxes and the manuals, the only thing I got with it was the 'File Manager/Tutorial' card. I can certainly see it getting some use though.

The 95LX has more features, but the Portfolio is a nicer looking machine I think. One neat thing about the Portfolio is that it's PowerBasic compiler is a relative of my favorite DOS BASIC compiler. I've used PowerBasic nearly continuously for the last 11-12 years. It's nice being able to compile a simple database that will run under most any version of both DOS and Windows without modification or recompiling.

I bought one when they first came out, and it was really useful. I customized a VCR cassette case to carry it around in. Airport security was always suspicious about this item, but not with regards to a regular-size laptop. The only downside is the plastic of the connector between the computer and the LCD passes through the hinge, and it eventually cracked from fatigue, breaking the traces so that the screen is blank. That turns out to be the EOL for most of the Portfolios :( Edwin At 18:15 3/14/01 -0800, you wrote: ckaiser(a)stockholm.ptloma.edu

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.

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 FAQ portfolio.non.profit.pl/english/faq.htm Archives www.larwe.com/vintage/portfolio.html larry Reply to: lgwalker(a)look.ca

It only existed as a prototype, but I really like the stylish case, it reminds me of a RiscPC. To add insult to injury, though, the '030 was crippled by a lot of compatiblity glue.
