Just buy the Serial Interface and you'll be adding an RS232-C interface to your Portfolio. I've got one and use it all the time to connect my Portfolio to my Mac, modems, UNIX boxes, etc. Atari has a PD terminal program out for the Portfolio that utilizes the Serial Interface. The program is really quite snazzy. It's only 3K in size, but supports ASCII and XMODEM uploading/downloading, and even has a simple macro facility. ----------------------------------------------------- Michael Connick mec@mtfmi.ATT.COM 201-957-3057 AT&T Bell Labs MT 3F-113 (Dept. 79151)
