,/* The Plus series */
* The emulated [[8255|PPI]] chip, making the keyboard unresponsive
* The emulated [[CRTC]], breaking CPC demos
* And unlike the original model, the 464 Plus lacks a tape counter for tracking cassette positions. It also omits the distinctive loading sounds that were once audible through the speaker during tape operations on the original CPC 464.
The Plus series incorporated a list of [[ASIC|new features]], like a cartridge port for instant program loading, DMA for the [[AY]] soundchip, enhanced hardware scrolling, programmable interrupts, 16 hardware zoomable sprites (not vectorized) with an independent palette of 15 colours, and a choice of 4096 colours all in a new, sleek case which mimicked the keyboard-computer design that was ''en vogue'' in the 16-bit market (ST, Amiga etc).
