[[RS232 ]] Interface for the CPC by [[Schneider]]. Schneider is the german German distributor for Amstrad CPC hardware (however, this interface seems to be was Schneider's own invention, not an [[Amstrad]] product).
== Clones ==
The original [[Schneider RS232 Interface]] was released around 1985. Two years later, in 1987, a software-compatible clone was released as DIY schematic in a german German book ([[Maschinenspracheprogramme und Hardware-Erweiterungen für Schneider CPC's|link]]). Even later, around 1996, a copy of that DIY schematic also circulated in the internet ([[Tim Riemann's RS232 interface|link]]). The DIY port address, timings and handshake signals are exactly the same as in the original Schneider version - except that DCD (Data Carrier Detect) isn't implemented in the DIY version.

== Reviews ==
A review appeared in german German magazine [[CPC Schneider International]] (issue 12-1985, pages [[Media:Schneider International 8512-p038 - Schneider RS232.jpg|38]], [[Media:Schneider International 8512-p039 - Schneider RS232.jpg|39]]).
== Datasheet ==
* A [[Media:Mostek_3801_Data.pdf|"Z80 STI"]] is a 40pin [[Media:Mostek_3801_Data.pdf|MK3801]] chip from Mostek. Details on that chip are from the "MOSTEK 1982/1983 Microelectronic Data Book" (kindly made available by John Robertson).
