While other computer systems of the era like the [[ZX Spectrum]] or the [[Commodore 64]] are still common computers in collections, P1/P2 models are hard to find, especially out of [[Germany]]. |

Most of the remaining systems are rendered unusables due to the loss of their CP/M [[boot]] disks or [[Power Supply Unit|PSU]] failure due to defective components and aging. |

The Triumph-Adler Alphatronic P1/P2 models are office computers launched by Triumph-Adler in 1980. The full version, with 48 Kb RAM and dual floppy drive was called P2, while its cut version with 32 Kb RAM and a single floppy drive was called P1.
Hardware
[edit]P1/P2 models have as main characteristic they does not have a motherboard, but a backplane where all computer modules are attached to.
Modules
[edit]- CPU 8085 board
- 16Kb static RAM board
- 32Kb dynamic RAM board
- Video output board
- Keyboard controller board
- RS-232 controller board
- Dual floppy disk drive controller board
- Power Supply module (2 boards)
MOS
[edit]MOS Stands for Micro Operating System. It is the built-in low-level operating system. The MOS allows the user perform low-level tasks like poking hexadecimal values directly into memory positions to program the computer in machine code and using hardware ports and peripherals.
Software
[edit]While running its own version of CP/M, P1/P2 can run any piece of software targetted for that system.
