Does any one have a program to tranfer files to/from Portfolio using the parallell port on an Atari ST ??? If NOT - Does any one have enough info on the Portfolio paralell transfer protocol and on the St centronics interface to make such a program ?

There is a program for parallel communication available in Germany, but I dont know the name or where to obtain it. Sorry, but keep looking. There is however a program for serial communication using xmodem. It is very small (about 2K) but useful program. It can transfer text (thus turning the portfolio into a serial terminal) and binary files. All you need is a terminal program on the ST (Uniterm works) and a serial cable. The program comes from Holland and is part of a book called "Das Portfolio Praxisbuch" which is available in Germany. Greetings from another portfolio fan!
