Dear All,

The end of the world is coming!  An Amiga fanatic bought an _Atari_ running
_MS-DOS_ !!

Ahem.

I bought a dead Atari Portfolio (a small palmtop) for $10.  After examining
it a few minutes I noticed that the display part was not getting any power
from the main machine.  The ultra-flexible cable that connects the two halves
of the machine is partially broken. :-I  I fixed it temporarily with an extra
wire but I'm pretty certain that more foils of the cable will break soon.

Does anyone know where I could get a new cable for this machine?  FAX-numbers?
I would like to fix this thing - it's too close to working to be thrown away
;-)

Another question: Does anybody have memory cards or an RS232 interface for
this machine that they would like to sell?  Schematics?  I guess it wouldn't
be very difficult to add one or two 128K*8 static RAM chips inside the machine
to increase the size of the RAM disk..  But the most important thing is to get
an RS323 interface to be able to transfer data between Atari and the real
world!

Any help appreciated.  Please e-mail.

  Jukka Marin


P.S. I _still_ love my Amigas! :-)
