Talk:Alfa DiskFax

The launch date is sourced to an article published by Computer Business Review, "ALFA SYSTEMS OFFERS BOX THAT SENDS DISK-TO-DISK “JUST LIKE A FAX MACHINE”" dated 19 November 1990. Wikipedia won't accept CBROnline as a source, despite the fact that Larry Sanger's co-foundership of Wikipedia can be sourced easily elsewhere.

The machine was trademarked in the US in 1991. It appears to have been sold off or perhaps licensed to a company called Timatic in or around 1995; that article contains more detailed technical specifications, but I can't tell if they apply to the original DiskFax. Alfa appears to have continued to exist until at least 2000.

Judging by the BBC it was familiar to journalists from "battle buses". -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 12:37, 13 May 2017 (UTC)
