CPC-IDE

== History ==
In Autumn 2004 the '''CPC-IDE''' was developed by [[Dr.Zed]] with support from [[Octoate]] (financial), [[Tolkin]] (financial), [[TFM]] (finding a free port address) and later [[Prodatron]] (software support in [[SymbOS]]). It was the first released hardware solution ever that allowed connection of IDE harddrives and CF cards to the CPC. Technically the CPC-IDE interface was an independant development, though the idea of splitting 16bit words into two 8bit bytes for the data transfer came from the GIDE IDE interface by Tilmann Reh.
It was fully working, but still in a prototype state, so only 10 pieces have been produced.
