Commodore Plus/4
The Commodore Plus/4 is a home computer released by Commodore International in 1984. The “Plus/4” name refers to the four-application ROM-resident office suite (word processor, spreadsheet, database, and graphing); it was billed as “the productivity computer with software built in”.
Internally, the Plus/4 shared the same basic architecture as the lower-end Commodore 16 and 116 models, and was able to use software and peripherals designed for them. The Plus/4 was incompatible with the Commodore 64’s software and some of its hardware. Although the Commodore 64 was more established, the Plus/4 was aimed at the more business-oriented part of the personal computer market.
History
The Commodore Plus/4 is another machine I never owned before my eBay purchase, and despite upgrading my Commodore 16 to the same amount of RAM, enabling me to play Plus/4 games, its not the same as owning and running a Plus/4.
I have always liked the way the Plus/4 looked and was always curious about the 4 applications (WordProcessor, Spreadsheet, Graphics and File Management) so I knew in the end I would have to get one.
EBAY LISTING:

Commodore Plus 4 computer that is in good condition and full working order. It displays fine on my TV using the included composite video cable and loaded a game (not included). The sound is working fine and all the keys on the keyboard are responding.
The computer has all it’s original chips, there are no modern equivalent parts fitted.
A 1531 Datassette, the manuals, power supply and composite cable are all included.
Now I have owned one for a while, and read the manal, tried the applications and played some games, it was a good addition to the retro room, as I now have all the models in the 8 bit era from Commodore that I have been interested in.
