Each set of Portfolio ROMs supports three keyboard and text languages. There were four language versions.
EFG English, French & German
EIS English, Italian & Spanish
ESD English, Swedish & Danish
ESS English, Swiss French & Swiss German
There were four official releases of the Portfolio ROMs: 1.030, 1.052, 1.072 and 1.13X. The X in 1.13X identified the languages, 1.130 was EFG, 1.131 was EIS, etc.
So 16 ROM variants in total.
EFG 1.030 EIS 1.030 ESD 1.030 ESS 1.030
Common EIS 1.052 ESD 1.052 ESS 1.052
Common EIS 1.072 ESD 1.072 ESS 1.072
EFG 1.130 EIS 1.131 ESD 1.132 ESS 1.133
Most of us will have EFG 1.072. It is very common. EFG 1.052 is also common.
If you have a Portfolio with a set of ROMs that is in the list above, can you share this information?

If you are interested in learning more about the ROMs in your Portfolio, I've attached a small memory dump utility, MDMP.COM. This accepts the following parameters. They are upper case with a 0 (zero) at the end:
ROMC0 - Dump of 0C0000h to 0CFFFFh
ROMD0 - Dump of 0D0000h to 0DFFFFh
ROME0 - Dump of 0E0000h to 0EFFFFh
ROMF0 - Dump of 0F0000h to 0FFFFFh
e.g. MDMP ROMF0 will dump the top 64 KB into a file called ROMF0.
This allows you to dump the entire 256 KB of the ROM in 4 parts, to make it easier to transfer.
Plus it can dump an Expansion ROM, if anyone has a peripheral with one in it.
EXPC0 - The first 64 KB of any expansion ROM
It can also dump a memory card if you are interested:
CCMC0 - The first 64 KB of the card A:
MDMP.COM makes some Int 61h calls, and may not work on a normal PC. If you get a “Disk is full” error, the image will be partially created. A valid image is always 65536 bytes long.

Have you or someone else deleted the ROM dump, which where uploaded?

I uploaded some ROM images, but noticed that Atari still owns the Intellectual Property: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1e-tl9Oqwnr78879Lnne_uhlsGkPWFK_z428ZmUaJjog/edit?pli=1#slide=id.g2ff92e3406f_0
Even after all this time Atari might have a concern. So I removed the images. I’ve asked Atari's Legal Dept to clarify their position.

If you have a Portfolio with a set of ROMs that is in the list above, can you share this information?
I don't understand. What do you mean by "share this information"?
By the way: Nice to see you again here, David.

While there are many Portfolios with EFG 1.072 or 1.052 ROMs, the other variants are not so common. You rarely see them mentioned in online posts.
When I said "share this information", I am asking anyone who has a different ROM version to reply to this thread. Especially if they have a non-EFG keyboard layout.

I have only EFG, Version 1.052, 1.072 and 1.130
