The Inner Workings Of A Coders Brain
Latest Addition To My Commodore Family!
My new Commodore plus/4, in excellent condition and fully working. Even has the original warranty, leaflets and factory stickers on it!
While at the local flea market this weekend I picked up a nice little addition to my family of Commodore computers, a commodore plus/4 in excellent condition. I even had to go out and buy a small portable TV so I could use it, as I couldn’t find my Commodore video cable anywhere, and of course none of the local electronic stores even knew what a 262 degree male DIN plug was hehe š Amateurs š
The plus/4 was released after the C64. and didn’t live up to its older brother for many different reasons. While it had more memory access and some tools built into the ROM, it lacked many of the things that the C64 used for games (sprite abilities and that sweet SID sound) and so it never really took off in those areas. It did feature the first issue of what would eventually come to be the Amiga keyboard, with a much more comfortable typing experience than the C64 keys.
Still, it’s a great and welcomed piece to my collection š

Good for you! š
Mine just arrived today. Got it from eBay for under $40 including shipping, also in excellent condition and in the original box. This was the first computer I ever wrote a program for – in my high school back in Poland around 1988.
