A neighbour gifted me this Atari Portfolio!
(feddit.de)
Portfolio to USB adapter stack:
- Portfolio Serial Module
- Gender Changer
- Null Modem adapter
- RS232 to USB adapter
I can send and receive files on the Portfolio via xterm2, on my modern PC I use TeraTerm to communicate with xterm2 over serial using the XModem protocol.
I also wrote an image converter to convert jpg to pgf (portfolio graphics file). I haven't yet implemented the compression to write pgc (portfolio graphics compressed) files directly. I use pgcompress on the atari to convert pgf to pgc. Pgc files can be viewed on the Atari using pgshow.
I got all software for the portfolio from here: Portfolio Library
.... and I see you have the same keyboard like me :-). Hope you're enjoying it as much as I do. The only thing which I don't like is that there is no tenting solution for it directly from the vendor. Ah well, we can't have all great things in the world, can we ? :-).
I'm scared to death to open my #portfolio and fix that freaking ribbon. It's not like it's causing a lot of distraction on the screen, it's my OCD kicking off :-).
No shit, this keyboard was the reason I picked up coding again. Writing without shoulder pain was a game changer.
It won't get better by leaving it like this. What do you think is difficult about the repair?
Is the keeb an ergodox? I got the moon lander. ZSA gang!
