One other thing to keep in mind about developing for the Portfolio is that
crashes may often clobber drive c:, since it's ramdisk and will be wiped out
when you do a cold reboot (and if you program the way I do, you will).
You must have a card disk to keep anything worth saving on, and you will
find it easier to debug on a normal PC rather than the Portfolio.
Also, for $60, Atari will sell you a Technical Reference Guide and some
Emulator software, so you can do your testing on the PC in an environment
which looks just like the Portfolio.
