In autumn 2004 the "CPC-IDE" was developed by [[Dr.Zed]] with the financial support of [[Octoate]], and [[Tolkin]] and [[TFM]]. It is 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 [[Disc_format|FAT]]16 and FAT32 harddiscs has been implemented in [[SymbOS]] until Xmas 2004.
SYMBiFACE II includes a rom manager software, which runs under [[SymbOS]]. This tool is needed for displaying, loading, saving and deleting of the 32 x 16K ROMs.
* There is another software A preview of a program with the same name ("[[ROManager ]]") is available for [[FutureOS]]. It allows the complete backup and restoration of all 32 ROMs and loading, saving, testing, copying, shifting, erasing and (un)parking single ROMs. "[[ROManager]]" It supports the languages German, English, French and Spanish.
