I think the Alphatronic PC was marketed under the "Royal" brand in
various places. I've seen pictures where there was a "Royal" logo in
place of the "TA" logo that mine had. IIRC Royal was originally a
typewriter company, that had been bought out by Triumph-Adler.

There were other (incompatible) models with the name Alphatronic - the
"Alphatronic PC" was one of them. I found a few references on
old-computers.com, or somewhere similar.
