Hi, until recently I totally ignored the plus4 I was not even aware that it was really sold... so I bought one and found a strange machine. 1/ it's not running any other commodore software (c64/vic20) 2/ it's totally different... 3/ the sound is so bad that its' not even thinkable to write a game for this machine... 4/ why a 6551 an the lack of a complete serial port (could be nice as a terminal for emulations)... 5/ why not 80 columns (I think it would be terrible with 80 col). 6/ more colors but no sprites, so almost useless for the games.. when I check the schematics, there is some genius in this machine I like it's simplicity I found the way it's designed kind of fantastic. the 7501 / TED are doing most of the job. but I dont see any real use :( - bad machine for games - bad machine for professional use Message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing listReceived on 2012-04-19 12:00:03
