And speaking of RAM ....

I need to find a low-cost source for RAM cards. The Atari
Portfolio (and I hope to be an owner soon!) requires
Mitsubishi (sic) format cards. Anybody know how hard is
it is replace the battery in a RAM card?

And speaking of EPROM ....

Does anyone have a source for ROM cards? Are there
readily available adapters for standard PROM burners
to ROM card (a kind of ZIF to card adapter?) The Atari
developers order form for the Portfolio lists some adapters
for $50. I suppose if I knew the pin out from a ROM
card, the adapter would follow ....

Thanks, as they say, in advance!
