| Commodore Plus/4
serial number EA5 198388 made in England. |
|
| The Plus/4, dating
from 1984, has Basic 3.5 and a built-in software
package called 3-plus-1. This comprised a word processor,
a database and a spreadsheet. Sadly, these were
very limited in size and options, and being fixed
in ROM could not be updated. While the Plus/4 can
use the 1541/1541-II disk drives and standard Commodore
printers, it can only use a special joystick and
the 1531 datasette unless adaptors are purchased. |
|
| It's hard to know
who was expected to buy the Plus/4 and few people
did. I only bought mine much later, out of curiosity.
This and the C16 seem to have been a mistake or
maybe someone not keeping an eye on the development
department. |
