Octoate (Tim Riemann) bought his Schneider CPC in 1985 and joined the scene very late (ca. 1998). He is mostly working on hardware extensions and started the CPC-IDE project, which was the predecessor of the [[SYMBiFACE II]], in autumn 2004 together with [[Dr.Zed]] (he developed the hardware) and [[Tolkin]]. Most of his soft- and hardware projects were only made for his own usage and never reached it the public.

== Hardware projects ==

* 7-bit relais card
* CPC-IDE Interface (financial support)
* Flash-ROM-Box (only one prototype, used the Atmel AT90F040 flash rom)
* Flash-ROM-Cartridge for the CPC Plus
* GMX Mouse to CPC Joystick port adapter
* 4-color scanner for a printer (similar to the [[Dart Scanner]])
* ROM-Box (small interface for only one ROM)

== Software ==

* Disc Image Copy (DIC - transfered whole disks over the printer port to a PC)
* Plotter driver for the relais card (controlled a self-made plotter)
