(Gee, back after about two months and I still see people bitch
about Atari... oh well)
Okay, I just bought an Atari HPC004, otherwise known as the
Portfolio, and I have this question...
Can anyone with reliable (please, no speculations or rambling
tirades about vaporware or Atari's alleged business practices, eh?)
information tell me if the memory expansion is forthcoming? I would
like to use the HPC-004 as a communications terminal, and would
like to explore more possibilities of it's capabilities.
By the way, (and this surprised me!) The Good Guys is running a
*FULL PAGE* Atari Portfolio ad, and we are including the Parallel
Interface and a 32k Memory Card *FOR FREE*. About $130 in
accessories thrown in. Needless to say, I finally bought one.
Although I work at The Good Guys, Portfolios are sold in another
department, and I would not benefit by "advertising" it here, but I
post this blurb as a service.
My guess is that Atari is throwing in some co-op ad money, and
offering the Portfolio/32k Card/Interface at a nice price to our
buyers to help Portfolio sales. Of course, as a long time Atari
enthusiast, I hope it works. I certainly am reserved about some,
shall I be kind, "detractors" that work for the company and
disparage the Portfolio...
