[[Image:Cpc-ide.jpg|200px|thumb|Prototype of the CPC-IDE interface]]
In autumn 2004 the first CPC SYMBiFACE (also known as "CPC-IDE") was developed by [[Dr.Zed]] with the financial support of [[Octoate]], [[TFM]] and [[Tolkin]]. 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 had a prototype state, so only 10 pieces have been produced. Some people should write software first, before the final version would be released. So fully IDE-support for FAT16 and FAT32 harddiscs has been implemented in [[SymbOS]] until Xmas 2004.
