Atari OS?
« on: 31 August 2003, 15:53 »
Hello . . .

I have been a collector of "antique computers" for some time, and last year acquired the "Atari Portfolio" -- a predecessor to modern PDAs constructed in 1989.

Here is a photograph -- (atop my Apple IIe):

(note from Orethrius: link is dead, no forwarding address)

Would anyone here know the OS installed on this device?

Or if there ever emerged any "installable" software for it?

:)

Knock yourself out....

Atari apps

   :D  

I'm not 100% sure but I'd guess that this would be running on an ARM processor, so an embeded OS would be the order of the day. I've just noticed that it runs DOS 2.11.

hey, what are you selling again? and for how much?

i am interested in getting an old mac to stick PPC Linux on, but i suspect your macs are too old for that (although that's in no way an attempt to detract from them! i love old macs!)

All of the computers and items listed are in "perfect operational condition" -- I never give out D.O.A.s.  I fix anything (in my collection) that's out of order.  Had to do a little tweaking to the NeXTCube motherboard -- but it's running happily now.
