noclafirata Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Does anyone know were to get a parallel cable that will work to transfer files between an ST and Portfolio, or a serial cable either one would work. Even a correct pinout would be nice I have found a few pinouts but they are all different. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zogging Hell Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Ebay is probably the best bet sadly, I had to get mine there a few years back. If you use an ST the serial one is probably better, I'm not sure the standard parallel works with the ST (although this is going from memory, sadly not had time to use mine for a couple of years). The difference in parallel cables might be something to do with the ST parallel port, which is not fully bi-directional iirc. You found this page I presume for software http://www.atari-portfolio.co.uk/library/tx-downloads.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noclafirata Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 Got it, you just change a few wires on the parallel cable and use portlink2 and it works like a charm. Thanks for the link that is a great site for the portfolio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
