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
The portfolio was my first Palmtop computer (of many – the latest is a GPD Pocket 1). Unfortunately it died a long time ago. I miss the thing. It was fun to own.
If you can believe it – software development. It’s not exactly a powerhouse but it can run Visual Studio.
However, I don’t use very much anymore.
I… cannot believe it lol. Maybe with an external keyboard … I could. Please share a pic of your dev setup!
