ScuzzBlog: Diaries June 2026 Entry 23rd June 2026: Post 1: Commodore plus/4 - My forty year rule. Commodore plus/4 - My forty year rule. Sad as it may seem there comes a time when you really have to face the truth that your kit is too old to use. Interestingly when I started collecting my aim was to create a photographic record with no intention of getting the kit working. It was only later, post 2017 that I focussed my efforts to getting the computers running. However, I have seen enough YouTube videos now of failures due to faulty power supplies to realise it's about time I closed things down on certain age machines. And so was born my forty year ruling stating that all computers over forty years old will no longer be powered from their original power supply. Consequently wonderful computers like the Commodore plus/4 spend their days acting as little more than a paper weight. Sad but in truth I never really used the computer for anything anyway. Next year I will be signing off the Amiga 1000 from active use. My experiences of the last few days have demonstrated just how little I know about electronics. I just have to accept my basic skills are close to zero and pack up the usage of these machines. Fortunately I still have all my blog entries so there is still a record of the computers working. PS: I have updated the page with images of the actual plus/4 that was featured in the original blog. Commodore plus/4 - My forty year rule. First up my plus/4 paperweight.. seriously. .. and a plus/4 from a previous blog.
