Atari portfolio for sale?

[Atarist 2600]

Lookin for one sounds pretty cool, anyone have one for sale? I would like it for 50 bucks, and I need a pocket atari

[AtariGeezer]

I've bought two on ebay for under $50 in the last year with memory cards and stuff, keep a look out there. Some want over $100 for just the main unit...

 

You do know that these are ms-dos based and not an Atari OS?

would you mind parting with them? Or should I keep my eyes open on ebay and goodwill?

[AtariGeezer]

Keep your eyes open often I use one and have the other for backup... Not looking to sell...

 

Even thou there are ones for $100 to $450, you'll find a few with a low starting bid every month

atari geezer does it program basic (like an 800xl) for portable basic programming?

[AtariGeezer]

Think of the portfolio as a portable ms-dos pc, there's nothing atari related about it...

[Atarist 2600]

i just read you can progam basic, but what is ms dos compared to basic?

[AtariGeezer]

The basic language on the portfolio is not the same in the 800xl, hence you can not use one on the other...

If you don't know the difference between ms-dos and basic, use google

[Atarist 2600]

I forgot to say what it ment I mean does it use the same commands?

i got a Dip Portfolio (the UK makers), and a Atari Portfolio, they are great little PCs. And they come with the awesome Chess game:

How do I rename the thread to something else?

The basic language is similar, but not interchangeable, two completely different animals (no pun intended )

The Portfolio is a Mini IBM PC, NOTHING Atari related about it...

Like I said the early post in this thread, search google and read and learn

[Atarist 2600]

Ok I guess I can do that, I just saw a German falcon if anybody wants it.

Wow!
