	Schneider BTX module for the CPC. The hardware design is based on an universal BTX decoder made by Siemens. It is connected to the CPC's expansion port and additionally hooked in between computer and monitor. The module must also be connected to a BTX modem with a D-BT 03 port. These modems were provided by the Deutsche Post and had to be returned after use, because the BTX subscriber ID was hard-coded within the device.		Schneider BTX module for the CPC.
