Manufacturer: Atari
Machine Type: Portfolio
Model Number: HPC-004
Serial Number: R19B1008322
Current Status: Complete and working. LCD hinge cracked
Acquired: 27 Oct 1997
Remarks:
This is an interesting little machine that was added to the collection for only $10. This was actually the first palmtop computer made before there was such a thing. DOS 2.1 is in ROM as well as some preloaded apps such as a spreadsheet, word processor, address book and diary. I also have a parallel port option that will let the Portfolio transfer files to a PC. The computer also has a 64k battery backed up memory card. The computer will run up to 40 hours on 3 AA batteries. Unfortunately, no BASIC interpreter is built in.
