R2E/CCMC Portal

The Portal is a computer co-designed by CCMC and R2E, released in 1980 to the French market.

Why spend valuable time on a weird French luggable computer designed for accountants?

Excellent question! Well, I have bought one, and it doesn't work, so it is important to understand its details to restore the machine is an good state.

Also, I intend to write code for the portal (like a debug ROM) and interoperate with it, so understanding its hardware is a must.
