Triton Electronics Ltd.

Manufacturing of industrial telecommunications products, electronics, telephony.

IPT-02: It was made for the School Computer program, with weaker hardware compared to the competition at the time, and little software. What software did exist for it was open source, so everyone developed it for themselves, few made it public domain. They produced 100 of them, and then, since they did not win the program, they stopped producing it. The further development of this machine provided the basis for the Gepárd 8 Telexcomputer. Millions of units of this and its further developed versions were sold. It could transmit signals at 50 Baud, it was 8-bit. Group calls, timed calls. (It was the first on the market to do this.) In 2 years, the entire Hungarian telex market was covered.

This was further developed by the Gepárd 16, which was built on XT principles. It is now 16-bit.

The cheetah specimens that can be viewed are in the Post Museum.
