It seems not plausible to have these - 1991 heavily outdated - Alphatronic P2 machines in an active newspaper office. It was already the time of the 486 Processors - with the third generation of fully graphical Displays and software! In 1990 you could have got way better machines for almost nothing. We used an Alphatronic P1 (and I still have it) and I can very well remember how limited this machine was. I really love your site - memories of films connected to memories of computers. Awesome! And huge!

I have a P2 like this but I can't obtain software. Have anyone some 160kb disk image like cpm or other to share? Thanks.

As the More Information link shows, the computer name is "Adler" ("eagle" in German).

Thanks, Michael - I've fixed the entry.

Triumph-Adler (with hyphen) is just the manufacturer's company name, not specifically referring to "eagle". The "Triumph" part actually results from the Company's British roots as a subsidiary of Triumph Motorcycles Ltd., Hinckley. In pre-electronic times, Triumph-Adler was an important manufacturer of typewriters and mechanical office equipment. The brand still exists, owned by Kyocera.
