Bringing back memories. We really were isolated - just a BBS or two. When parts started to go there wasn't any ebay and you were S.O.L. I bought 4 plus4s thinking I had plenty of spares, but the TED went bad in three of them!
I had several phone conversations with Dave Johnson about how he wrote the 3 plus 1 software. They were scrambling just like the rest of us. I also knew Fred Bowen at Commodore fairly well. He and I tinkered with hooking two plus4s back to back at the 6529 8 bit parallel port. It actually worked! About the only thing that worked really well that I got into the PD was xmodem for the plus4. Cheers...
