The Atari
Portfolio is a really neat little device. It has an 80c88 processor and
runs DIP-DOS from ROM which is Atari's version of MS-DOS. It looks &
feels like MS-DOS as well as runs MS-DOS programs. It has a memory
card slot for proprietary storage cards, and an expansion port where you
can hook up a serial or parallel port replicator. I have managed to dial
into my internet provider with this unit, the serial port replicator, and
an external modem. Worked like a charm. Nice little unit, it's kind of
odd to think that Atari made anything even halfway compatible with anything
else. But they did and it rocks. :)
