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! :-) -- | Mail: Jukka Marin | E-Mail: jmarin@messi.uku.fi | | Metsurintie 17 B 8 | FAX/voice: +358 71 232 793 | | 70150 Kuopio | There's God above computers - | | FINLAND | Love beyond the hate |
