The [[Schneiderware]] series consists of several DIY projects which have been released in german magazine [[CPC Schneider International]] published by [[DMV]]. The name "Schneiderware" was probably choosen due to its double meaning ("CPC Hardware" in computer language, or "specially fitted clothing" in german language). Aside from building the hardware on one's own, one could also order printed circuit boards, either fully assembled, or plain PCBs without components.

The various boards are having special connectors, intended to be mounted on the "Basisplatine" (some kind of a motherboard with [[ECB Bus]] sockets) which allows to connect up to five Schneiderware boards to the CPCs Expansion Port; with some small modifications one could also connect the boards directly to the Expansion Port (the motherboard is merely an Y-cable-like adaptor without electrical components, so one doesn't really need it).

The plain PCB, or the fully assembled board were available via mail-order.

The Schneiderware Basisplatine (backplane) is some kind of a ECB-Bus motherboard for the Schneiderware DIY series, which was published by german magazine CPC Schneider International. The board has five 64-pin ECB sockets (for use with the DIY boards of the series), a 50-pin connector (for the CPC expansion port), and 7 soldering points (for an optional power supply, like the Schneiderware Power Supply).

The plain PCB, or the fully assembled board were available via mail-order. Unlike as for the other DIY projects of the Schneiderware series, the PCB layout has not been printed (in paper-form) in the magazine (though the magazine offered to send them to interested persons). Another solution would have been to buy a standard ECB backplane (like this), and to build an adaptor for the CPC expansion port by hand.
