- So you got just what you asked for, an Atari Portfolio. It is a great little
- computer. It can do many wonderful things. A natural addition, to make it
- ever so much more useful is the serial interface. This lets you "see the
- world", or at least listen to it.
-
- Terrific! You feverishly open the boxes, throw away the documentation and lo
- and behold, there is no serial port software in the machine. The file transfer
- utility is only for the parallel port.
-
- In an attempt to enable the loading of these programs in an orderly and simple
- fashion, I have prepared the accompanying files. Credit goes to Jim Strauss,
- I believe, for XTERM1.COM, BINHEX.COM, HEXBIN.COM and CHKSUM.COM. I have added
- PFLOAD.EXE, PFBOOT.BAT and LOAD.BAT. Together, the process is nearly foolproof
- Okay you fools, prove me wrong). I have taken the liberty of bundling these
- programs together for ease of downloading, especially for novices. Oh Yes, all
- programs are MS-DOS compatible.
-
- To load, simply connect the serial cable, start both machines and type (on PC):
-
- PFBOOT [ENTER]
-
- The programs prompt you when necessary.
