Alphatronic PC

The Alphatronic PC was launched by Triumph-Adler around 1983–1984 as a compact 8-bit home and business computer. It was built around a 4 MHz Zilog Z80A CPU, with 64 KB of RAM and 32 KB of ROM containing Microsoft BASIC v5.11. The machine supported both 40×24 and 80×36 text modes, and featured block-style graphics at 160×72 resolution with 16 colors.

It came with a full-travel keyboard and had multiple display outputs including RGB, composite, and RF. Interfaces included RS-232, parallel port, and cassette. External 5.25″ floppy drives were optional, and CP/M could be used when booted from disk.
