     Most SD2IEC's being sold use a cassette port adapter so that power can be
drawn from that C64/128/VIC-20 cassette port edge connector.  However, the
Plus/4 uses a 7-pin mini DIN cassette port connector, and so for the Plus/4,
you'd have to buy/build 
an adapter with a male, mini-DIN plug and a female cassette port edge socket,
or you'd have to find SD2IEC's that don't draw power from the cassette port. 
Such SD2IEC's, which draw their power from the Commodore user port, are
marketed by The Future Was 
8 Bit.  Below are the links to their SD2IEC's with the user port option or
with the user port adapter already there.

With these SD2IEC's, you can use them with all of your Commodores that you
list.
