On the other
hand, there was the 6551 ACIA emulation in software for
the user port, which was buggy to boot. People may make fun of the Plus/4
but at least it had a real ACIA.
They did? (Looking in handy box of manuals, but plus 4 isn't in there...)
Yup. Memory escapes me, but I think Commodore even managed to screw that up
somehow with some lines missing or something (Jim Brain might know, I can't
find my Plus/4 notes a/t/m). Still, I used a Plus/4 as a terminal for awhile
until I got a SwiftLink. That Plus/4 even did the apartment budget back then.
Not a bad computer, and the graphics were nice, just strange and incompatible.
