[[Image:Cpc-ide.jpg|200px|thumb|Prototype of the CPC-IDE interface]]
In autumn 2004 the "CPC-IDE" was developed by [[Dr.Zed]] with 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 After the final version would be released. So fully production of the CPC-IDE [[Prodatron]] joined the team and created IDE-support for [[Disc_format|FAT]]16 and FAT32 harddiscs has been implemented in [[SymbOS]] until Xmas 2004.
After working successfully, [[Dr.Zed]] and [[Prodatron]] made plans for a second version, which includes a lot of more extensions. So the '''SYMBiFACE II''' is not only an IDE interface anymore. It merges the CPC with current PC technology.
