Changes
Carefull here: Another interface (8255IDE) has higher data transfer rate.
== Introduction and development ==
In Autumn 2004 the CPC-IDE was developed by [[Dr.Zed]] with support from [[Octoate]], [[Tolkin]] and [[TFM]]. It was the first hardware solution ever that allowed connection of IDE harddrives and CF cards to the CPC with the maximum possible data transfer speed. Technically the CPC-IDE interface was based on the GIDE IDE interface by Tilmann Reh.
It was fully working, but still in a prototype state, so only 10 pieces have been produced.
