The Portfolio stores and retrieves data and programs from credit card sized memory cards inserted into the built-in card drive, just like floppy disks on a desktop computer. Memory cards are available in three sizes, 32K, 64K, and 128K to provide the right amount of storage for your needs. The card drive also accepts program cards, which can contain commercial software or custom programs. Interfaces and Peripherals. As you would expect from a full-performance computer, the Portfolio supports a growing range of peripherals via a built-in 60 pin bus connector. Among the peripherals currently available are a serial RS232C interface for connecting to modems, and a parallel interface for connecting to other personal computers and printers. You can also connect a card drive to your desktop personal computer to read and write directly to and from the Portfolio's memory cards, further simplifying file exchange between your computers. Power Supply. The Portfolio is powered by three alkaline AA batteries (batteries included). Or, you can conserve battery power by using an AC adaptor. Since peripherals take their power from the Portfolio's batteries or AC adaptor, they do not need their own power sources.

  • Evolution and Competition in the Market for Handheld Computers By
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Research Papers in Economics Evolution and Competition in the Market for Handheld Computers by Marc van Wegberg1 NIBOR / RM / 1998 / 04 July, 1998 Abstract. Since the early 1990s, electronic organisers or electronic agendas have been evolving towards fully fledged, but miniature, computers. This paper is a case study about this market. Uniquely, and reminiscent of the home computer market in the 1980s, this is a market for personal computers not dominated by Microsoft. Or at least, not yet. In tracking the evolution of this market, the paper points especially to the importance of networking and standardization. The market for handheld computers is a small market, compared to the units shipped in the market for PCs. Nevertheless a surprisingly large number of vendors has been and still is active in this market. During the short history of this market, there have been several periods where technological breakthroughs created expectations of huge growth, with entry by new suppliers as a result. As the dust settled, the losers either changed strategy, or left the market altogether. The paper will argue that standardization and networking are major factors in explaining competitive success and the recent growth of the industry. 1Faculty of Economics and Business Administration, University of Maastricht, P.O.
