The Plus/4 is a home computer released by Commodore International in 1984. It is part of the Commodore 264 series, which also includes the Commodore 16 and Commodore 116 models. The Plus/4 was marketed as "the productivity computer with software built in", with a four-application ROM-resident office suite: word processor, spreadsheet, database, and graphing software.
Internally, the Plus/4 shares the same basic architecture as the Commodore 16 and 116, allowing it to use software and peripherals designed for these models. It is incompatible with the Commodore 64's extensive software library and some of its hardware. The Plus/4 was intended to expand the home computer market by targeting users interested in serious applications rather than gaming.
