Changes
/* Software */ added software projects
'''Octoate''' 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) [[Tolkin]] and [[TFM]]. Most of his soft- and hardware projects were only made for his own usage and never reached the public.
