Beside the [[SYMBiFACE II]] hardware, which is an advanced successor with additional features, two clones of the CPC-IDE have been created:
* FreeIDE: This is a 1:1 copy of the CPC-IDE by [[Pentagon]] in 2005, which was using the original CPLD code from [[Dr.Zed]]. There were only a few prototypes existing.
* [[X-Mass]]: This new implementation by [[TotO]] from 2014 is based on a DOM (disc on module), which is working in 8bit IDE mode. It's not a fully compatible IDE interface, as it doesn't contain a real IDE connector and doesn't have support for IDE storages with the usual 16bit mode. It's designed for the very compact [[MotherX4]] expansion. During 2016 [[SyX]] released [[AcmeDOS]], which was the first full working Amsdos FAT16 implementation for the CPC.
