Hello people...

	A friend of mine has one of those wierd Commodore + 4 deals. I
	never even heard of the thing, but she apparently bought it for $60
	on some home shopping network a few years ago, and NEVER EVEN TURNED
	IT ON (real power-user, huh?). I hooked it up & figgured out how to
	run the four built-in software packages (probably adequate for her 
	needs), as well as playing around in BASIC. Anyway, she now (three
	years later) actually wants to make this thing into a real system.
	(e.g. disk drive, printer, possibly modem) I am aware of the substantial
	user base for the C64 & C128, and I wonder... is this thing C64
	compatible (e.g. hardware/software)? The BASIC language appears
	identical to the 64, and the keyboard is the same also. Honestly, I
	could not reccomend expanding a system like that if it's not compatible
        with the more popular C64. Also, she may be interested in a used
	disk drive, printer, or modem (hint!hint!).

I don't think there is a need to clutter up the net with responces, so I would
	very much appreciate email, if you would, to bartle@gondor.cs.psu.edu

Thanks in advance, Aron.

p.s. this .signature is a little messed up. sorry...
