                             SLAVE
                (c) 1990 Atari Computers, Australia


SLAVE was created for the single purpose of communicating with other 
computers with a minimum of effort.  

As a full-duplex serial communications program that supports the 
widely accepted X-Modem protocol, the only prerequisites are a 
serial interface for your Portfolio and a terminal program on your 
host computer.

The communications parameters are preset at:

        9600 Baud, No parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit.

HOW TO USE SLAVE

1.      Turn off Portfolio and plug in the serial interface.

2.      Using a null modem adaptor and a serial cable, connect the      
        interface to the serial port of your host computer.

3.      Load a terminal program on your host computer and configure
        each of the communication parameters as outlined above.

4.      At the DOS prompt of your Portfolio type SLAVE.

5.      A message will appear on your host computer followed by the
        familiar DOS prompt.  Your Portfolio can now be controlled
        directly from the host computer.
