  Commodore 16 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Commodore sold a C16 family-specific cassette player (the Commodore 1531) and joysticks, but third-party converters to allow the use of the abundant, and hence much less expensive, VIC/C64-type units soon appeared.
The C16's serial port (Commodore's proprietary "serial IEEE-488 bus", no relation to RS-232 and the like) was the same as that of the VIC and C64, which meant that printers and disk drives, at least, were interchangeable with the older machines.
The even less successful Commodore 116 was functionally and technically similar but shipped in a smaller case with a rubber chiclet keyboard and was only available in Europe.

 Commodore Plus/4 and C16 Homepage
The Commodore Plus/4 was the first home computer with built-in software: word processor, spreadsheet, and database manager, plus a function to graph data from the spreadsheet in the word processor (hence the software's name of 'Three-Plus-One').
The Commodore 1551 diskette drive was released only in Europe, to satisfy the needs of the users who bought the Commodore Plus/4 for their database needs.
Ironically, Commodore had shelved this model when the Plus/4 was cancelled, only to bring it to market almost a year afterward.

The ROM resident BASIC 3.5, however, was more powerful than the VIC-20's and C64's BASIC 2.0, in that it had commands for sound and bitmapped graphics (320×200 pixels), as well as simple program tracing/debugging.
The C16's serial port¹ was the same as that of the VIC and C64, which meant that printers and disk drives, at least, were interchangeable with the older machines.

Builtin ACIA (6551) but without real RS232 driver chips (Commodore did a lot things like this), so an external adapter providing the drivers was needed.
This was a major problem, and there was only one joystick (model T-1341, sold under the Commodore brand) that had this connector.

While the TED could genuinely produce more colours the Commodore 64, importantly, it did not support Sprite graphics which was one of the things that made the C64 so wonderful to work with.
I am all but certain Commodore never released (even on prototype / demo machines) Basic 3.0 which has always puzzled me. Perhaps they wanted to indicate that 3.5 was just a little bit less than the Basic 4.0 being used in much more expensive Commodore PET / CBM-II machines of the day.
Commodore stated that in excess of 90% of C64 software could be easily ported to the 264, but why would developers put in that effort for a small run machine and why would consumers want to buy their C64 applications again?

Maszyny firm Mattel i Timex były tańsze od Commodore VIC-20, a wprowadzenie C16 (mimo że VIC posiadał większy wybór urządzeń zewnętrznych, pełnowymiarową klawiaturę i więcej pamięci niż produkty konkurencji) miało dać możliwość wejścia Commodore w ten segment komputerów.
Dodatkowo prezes firmy Commodore Jack Tramiel obawiał się wejścia na rynek firm japońskich i pojawienia się ich komputerów z jeszcze niższymi cenami.

Interestingly, the 232 is not an upgraded descendant of the 116 or 16, as some have believed; the keyboard alone is enough to demonstrate it is in fact a downgraded 264.
Commodore press releases detailed the option ROM as an updated version of the original 64 cartridge, with "Lisa-like" pulldown menus and icons.
Commodore's final gasp in the TED (d)evolution was that "TED Shall Talk", in the words of engineer Bil Herd, and the 364 was the direct product of that plan.

Besides not being compatible with the C64/C128 (at the time, one of the most popular machines on the shelves), Commodore also changed the joystick, cassette and cartridge ports on the 264 series, and eliminated the user port.
