Here's an interesting thing to try on your Plus/4: SYS32800,123,45,6 and press Return.
I know.... everyone says this is for the 128. But on the Plus/4 (and I would presume the C16 too) this outputs a list of all cartirdges attached to the system and their F-key assignments, just as if you had turned the machine on. One problem though, it returns the system back to the READY prompt.
It could be used in a program to 'sense' what cartridges are attached.... clear the screen, SYS, then PEEK the first two rows of memory and build your own menu. This could be handy, as I have one system with SpeedScript instead of 3+1.
