Does anybody know how to make a cable for data transfers between
portfolio and a pc using their parallel ports? Pin layout?

The manual of the portfolio parallel connection says 'cable with a 25
pin D-type male connector on each end, or an adaptor to a(?) convert
Centronics to 25 D-type connector' ((?) is mine) for file transfer.
I know that there are more than one possible parallel connections
(unlike for serial connections), depending on software.

I tried to ring Atari Computers here in Sydney, but they seem to have
vanished into thin air.
