Well, I found out how to expand a Portfolio to 640k. It entails the
new HPC-104 memory expansion. Adding one gives you 256k more, and
a second card slot, but adding a second gives you 640k total. And
if you add on the serial or parallel interface, you have one long
hand held computer!

No, I do not thing that the second card slot is usable as D:\, it's
probably configured for B:\, and the Portfolio can only access
three drives.

Since the expansion bus is "standard PC" does that mean someone
could engineer an expansion box, with a standard video card, etc?

The only place I have seen the full line of Portfolio products is
B&C Computervisions in Santa Clara. We don't have the HPC-104 yet,
but we have everything else.
