A local entrepeneur is in the midst of preparing a commercial proposal
and he is looking at the Portfolio (because of its size) as the smart
controller for the system. The developer wants to do some bi-
directional I/O and to display data graphically (line plots).

What he needs to know is:

1. Are any languages available for the Portfolio? Would some off-
   the-shelf PC BASIC work, for example.

2. Are the ROM routines documented anywhere (such as pixel on/off,
   line primitives, RS config, etc.)

If he can get a language that access ROM routines to do the I/O and
graphics, he can use the Portfolio as a small instrument controller.

He has to prepare an interim proposal within the next few days.
If anyone on the net has info, please E-mail to me and I will pass
it along.

PS. what about alternatives to the Portfolio (remember, compactness
is essential).
