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
Seeing this, I really have to go look for my own one that is still in a box on the attic. I wonder if it still works after not being used for 20 years or so… Power shouldn’t be a problem, if I remember correctly… Standard issue AA cells or something like that.
