The problem is that these multiple solutions are incompatible and are fragmenting the CPC community. That means we have less compatible CPC software, and we get needless complexity and confusion for users and developers. Currently, the choice is as follows:
*Symbiface 3 and Dobbertin HD20 and Symbiface 3 are not supported by emulators
*The Symbiface II or X-Mass IDE/PATA is emulated by WinAPE, WinCPC, Arnold, ACE and Caprice Forever
*The Albireo is emulated by ACE and Caprice Forever
