@nohaironheed@mastodon.scot They were around in Europe much longer indeed, and even longer in the ex-East Bloc. Even for Commodore 64s, which I had. Used it with only a Datasette until late '94, when I got a 386sx PC "for the school".
I still have a soft spot for the C264 series though, because we had them in Hungary as school computers, so it was the first computer I ever had access to as a kid, and wrote my first BASIC programs on them.
So even if I never owned one until much later, I love these things.

@nohaironheed@mastodon.scot In this case, the problem was the Datasette, I think. Which is why it did not load on first try. It's mechanical, probably needed a bit of exercise to wake up after the long sleep. Now it works much better. Usually I use a Pi1541 or an SD2IEC with my C16/Plus4. Or just load from my 1541Ultimate II+, in standalone mode.
