The CPC Schneider International originally aimed at the semi-professional CPC user.
It contained game and software tests, market news, hardware modification tips (8th printer bit, CP/M-switch, and similar), software listing and much more.
It contained market news, game and software tests, hardware modification tips (8th printer bit, [[CP/M]] switch, and similar), software listings and much more. In late issues there were even reviews of scene demos. === Its names === During its lifetime, the magazine changed its name quite a few times: The first rename took place after Schneider started to sell the PCW/Joyce and PC-1512/PC-1640 computers in Germany. The CPC Schneider International was renamed to "PC Schneider International" (with "CPC" written vertically inside the "P" in PC, which was going to last until they should rename to CPC again) to reflect the fact that it also covered the PCW/PC models. The second and third rename happened after Schneider Computer Division stopped distributing the CPC computers in Germany, and Amstrad stepped in. The magazine was named "PC Amstrad/Schneider International" for a short time and to "PC Amstrad International" later. As of 10/1991, the publisher decided to drop the PC section and concentrate on the CPCs and PCWs/Joyces only, so the magazine was renamed a fourth and last time: "CPC Amstrad International". === The early years === The magazine started in 03/1985 as '''CPC Schneider International'''. ''Schneider'' because the Amstrad CPCs were sold as Schneider CPCs in Germany and ''International'' because the magazine had contacts to other publishers abroad. The early years also were the best in the magazine's lifetime: The CPC was selling quite well in Germany and as the magazine lived from readers participating (all listings printed were sent in by readers before) there was enough content to print. The hardware and software test sections were well supported by the hardware vendors and software distributors and there were enough advertisers to ensure the magazine earned money. === Adding PC coverage === The magazine was renamed to '''PC Schneider International''' to reflect the additional PC coverage inside.
During its lifeThe PC coverage was limited to the Schneider PC-1512/PC-time, 1640 models (and their matching portables) as well as the magazine changed its name quite a few times:PCW/Joyce.
The first rename took place after Schneider started to sell editors were concentrating on the PCW/Joyce and PC 1512/PC 1640 computers in Germany. The CPC Schneider International was renamed features unique to "PC Schneider International" (With "CPC" written vertically inside the "P" in PCAmstrad PCs, which was going to last until they should rename to CPC again) to reflect e.g. the fact that it also covered the PCW/PC modelsincluded GEM and DOS plus.
The second At this time, the CPCs and third rename happened after Schneider Computer Division stopped distributing the CPC computers in Germany and Amstrad stepped in. The magazine was named "PC Amstrad/Schneider International" for a short time and to "PC Amstrad International" laterwere still going strong.
