You need to read this months Commodore World magazine!
This month Jim Brain talks about the CBM 264 series and
compatability, pros and cons ect.
Hope you got a 1551 disk drive! The 1541 works fine with
all my stuff (all 5 things i have that runs on a plus 4), but
it appears to be incompatable with the ROM based firmware.
I myself am looking for a good term program for the plus4 being
as the plus 4 series has a 6551 UART chip, ulike the C64, it should
be able to run very very fast with a good modem. That would
make bbs/internet hopping real cool!
