Sure it could be done with a bit of effort. The parallel port uses an 8255, so special drivers are required here. The serial port is more of a standard uart setup, but the control register addresses differ. Sorry I can't find the info now, I played around with it about 1989-1990 I think. I suggest getting onto the small groups that still exist. A search engine should bring results.

Ahh, well, there's a few machines that were "DOS 2.x compatible". Doesn't mean to suggest they were "PC Compatible" or "IBM Compatible" though. Certain succulent fruit come to mind. I nearly got my hands on one, but the owner thought I wasn't interested because I hadn't picked it up, and stuck it out in her (or their) garage sale. Apparently someone paid $10 for it before I twigged and got there! Another one was seen at a garage sale asking something absolutely ridiculous (about $50 as I vaguely recall!). Talk about p* in the wind! Neither had more than the disk sitting in the drive and maybe a tatty manual or two! Why do I care? Well, I sort of ... collect them ... sort of.

FYI I have P basic for the Port that will do the job. I also have numerous memory cards (16K-1meg) for sale. This includes 2 PC card readers, serial & parallel plug ins. All the copies of the Re:port publication and software. All and more for $200 Steven Coles (602) 433-0264 (602) 242-0242 fax Christoph Klein wrote: > Dear PL'ers, > > is there any software available to program pic's using an atari > portfolio?
