 Re: C16 memory expansion

@James C
"Otherwise, the C16 or 116 with 64k expansion should be identical to a Plus/4."

No, not exactly. There are hardware differences apart from the built in ROM interface what you also mentioned. For example Plus/4 has a User port (RS-232), while C16 does not.

Anyway if we were talking about the software side then the expansion is enough for any program to run.

@Spector
"Was a memory expansion pack available twenty years ago when the machine first came out, and how much did it cost?"

Yes there was, at least I know 3rd party developments. I used to have an expansion board for my C16, it was built by a hungarian company. Its price was 1/8 of the original machine's price. (Which was huge money for me back then... happy )
