I just bought myself a Portfolio this past week.  Nice little toy.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to do much with it, as my serial
interface seems to be dead.  I do plan on writing some assembler
programs _on_ and _for_ the Portfolio (don't have a PC at all).
Eventually some games, I hope.  In any case, I have also bought a
fairly good German book about the Portfolio internals, and how to
program them, so I may be able to help you.  According to another
third party book, Atari Germany will supposedly support PF developers
by selling them a Technical Reference manual, but I haven't looked into
this yet.

I decided to post, as I would like to see more traffic wrt the Portfolio here,
and I hope you will do the same.  

BTW: on the off chance that my interface is dead, and I'm just doing
something wrong, here's what's happening:  I've been using a 9-to-25
AT cable to connect the PF to both a Sun SPARC and a PC (AT, I
assume.. it's not mine).  When I say COPY AUX CON on the PF I simply
get a "Not Ready Error".  Any help would be much appreciated...
