The Commodore plus/4 is a home computer from the 1980s and typical with other computers of that era comes with a built-in keyboard and was designed to connect to a television set.

The +4 has a number of built in I/O interfaces. These include a serial UART, 8-bit parallel port, cassette port and a CBM IEC serial bus.

The video output can drive composite video inputs on TVs or, for example, a Hauppauge HVR900H (2040:6600) capture board in Linux (see photo). This set up has low latency and is very usable in Linux, but this may not be the case elsewhere.
