	Commodore 16 - Hardware - Plus/4 World
		Mike Roberts and Simon Rockman investigate the smaller of Commodore`s new offspring, the Commodore 16.
		The Commodore 16 is packaged in the same type of box that has clothed Commodore 64s and VICs for the past few years.
		Since all Commodore`s existing peripherals which use these ports will not work staight off, there are already printers and disc drives available for the machine: this is a welcome change from the usual state of affairs where the user has to wait up to two years for any peripherals at all.

	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 Commodore 16 was one of three computers in its family.

	Commodore Peripheral Ports
		Commodore computers provide their users with a variety of methods for communicating with the outside world.
		Commodore has established several standards for device numbers: Printers are usually device 4, although some can be changed to device 5, the 1520 Printer/Plotter is designed to be device 6, and device numbers 8 and above usually refer to disk drives.
		The Plus/4 and 16 have identical 50-pin connectors for this port (as opposed to the 44-pin connectors used in the VIC and 64), so presumably there will be some compatibility of cartridges for these models, although no VIC or 64 cartridges or memory port peripherals can be used.

	Commodore history. Pet, VIC20, C64, SX-64, C16, Plus/4, C128.
		Commodore International, a manufacturer of electronic products, was a leading player in the early years of the personal-computer revolution.
		Commodore was founded by Jack Tramiel in 1954 as a typewriter repair service.
		Commodore had now upgraded to BASIC V7.0 and provided three modes of operation, total C64 compatibility, a new C128 mode in either 40 or 80 columns and CP/M capability.

	Commodore computer history and repair information
		Commodore compatible floppy drives made by other manufacturers also emerged, but they were independently developed (for the most part) due to the fact that the Commodore 64 and 128 drives were "intelligent peripherals" possessing chips that Commodore had decided not to license or supply to its competitors.
		Commodore owners were thrilled that they could have a computer which could perform nearly like the Macintosh-- for just a small percentage of the price of a Macintosh-- while still having color graphics and sound which surpassed the capabilities of the Macintosh.
		Commodore even developed an incredible interactive stand-alone CD unit (based on the Amiga technology) called the CDTV which (along with Philips CDI) were the predecessors to many of the CD-based interactive game systems which followed.

	Commodore - Uncyclopedia
		Commodore was a secret conspiracy of the US Navy to destroy the nascent Personal Computer market in the early 1980s.
		Most Commodore 64 owners preferred to bake the bread in an ordinary oven after having the computer mix and knead the dough, claiming that it finished with a more pleasing texture and even browning.
		The Commodore 128 was made by taking the innards from two Commodore 64s and, for some reason, a TRS-80 Model III, duct-taping them together and then sticking the whole thing into a single case.

		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.

	Commodore International - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Commodore is the commonly used name for Commodore International, was an American electronics company based in West Chester, Pennsylvania which was a vital player in the home/personal computer field in the 1980s.
		Commodore soon had a profitable calculator line and was one of the more popular brands in the early 1970s, producing both consumer as well as scientific/programmable calculators.
		Commodore had to be rescued once again by an infusion of cash from Gould, which Tramiel used beginning in 1976 to purchase several second-source chip suppliers, including MOS Technology, Inc., in order to assure his supply.

		This keyboard can even be used as an excellent replacement keyboard for a Commodore 64 or Vic 20 as long as the key-contact circuit board on the bottom of the Commodore 64 or Vic 20 keyboard is cleaned and put in place of the circuit board which comes with this keyboard.
		Finally, clean the Commodore 64's original key-contact ciruit board and attach it to the key mechanism from the Commodore 16 keyboard.
		Also, a few of the keys on the Commodore 16 keyboard were labelled differently and will require some key cap swapping from the original 64 or Vic keyboard or some stickers to prevent misidentification of keys.

	Secret Weapons of Commodore: The 7501s: The 116, 116 Portable, Book 116, 232, 264, Canadian Plus/4, 364
		The 7501s were most well known in their guises as the ill-fated 16 and Plus/4 series of computers, but were also the primary component of the 264 series.
		His suggestion is further confirmed by comparing ROMs; the 232 has ROM version number 81, while the 16 and Plus/4 have version 84, with differences in the tape routines, giving strong evidence to the theory that the 232 was in fact a prototype and was never meant to leave the Commodore factory floor.
		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.

		Not a lot can be said about this machine except that it was functionally similar to the Plus/4 (with less memory, obviously) but without the built-in ROM software for File Manager, Spreadsheet, Word-processing and Graphics.

		The book follows the outline of the very popular Commodore 64 reference by German publisher Data Becker, which by this time was also available in Hungarian.
		It is a "hacker's" tome: more of the book is taken up by appendices (most notably, a fully disassembled and annotated listing of all the ROM code) than anything else.

		The Commodore 16 is a member of Commodore's ill-fated 264 series.
		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.
		Perhaps Commodore didn't want to waste the materials making the board long enough to stretch across the entire back of the machine, and so they had to use smaller connectors.

	Commodore 16 and Plus/4 - AtariAge Forums
		From: Grand Prairie, TX I was reading in Retro Gamer about Durell software publishing one of it's games on the C64 and Amstrad, and having it ported to the Commodore 16 also.
		No, they weren't very successful, but Commodore has always enjoyed a good deal of success in Europe, so despite the machine's flop in North Am, there is still a decent chunk of software out there for it (although not even remotely comparable to the wealth of software for the C-64).
		I think the idea of this was that it would be to the Plus/4 as the VIC-20 was to the C-64, but the machine was just too limited for the time it was released, so it failed miserably.
