Quite some time ago there was speculation in this newsgroup that the memory cards used by the Atari Portfolio are identical to those used by other handhelds and electronic musical instruments. Has anyone actually verified that this is the case? In any case, what is the cheapest source for memory cards for the Portfolio? While I have the attention of any Portfolio owners out there, does anybody have any interesting software for it that they would be willing to email to me? All I currently have (apart from the built-in applications) is xterm2. Surely there must be lots of useful little programs also available out there. Perhaps someone would even be interested in setting up an archive site for Portfolio programs.

Even if I press as hard as I dare, the cards will _NOT_ go in. Also, it looks like the contacts have a slighly different spacing... Anyway, forget it. Only the real cards seem to fit. On the other hand, I heard (but did not verify) that the RAM cards for the Roland synthesizers DO fit. Did anybody try? -- | | "Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what | | Jurjen N.E.
