Portfolio to USB adapter stack:

  1. Portfolio Serial Module
  2. Gender Changer
  3. Null Modem adapter
  4. 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 :-)

No shit, this keyboard was the reason I picked up coding again. Writing without shoulder pain was a game changer.

I'm scared to death to open my #portfolio and fix that freaking ribbon.

It won't get better by leaving it like this. What do you think is difficult about the repair?
