Octoate bought his Schneider CPC in 1985 and joined the scene very late (ca. 1998). He is mostly working on hardware extensions and started the CPC-IDE project, which was the predecessor of the SYMBiFACE II, in autumn 2004 together with Dr.Zed (he developed the hardware) Tolkin and TFM. Most of his soft- and hardware projects were only made for his own usage and never reached the public.
