Triumph is one of the [[LK Links]]-selectable brand names in the CPC BIOS, allowing to display the boot message '''Triumph 64K Microcomputer''' on power up. Amstrad apparently planned a partnership with a company with that name. Which company this could have been is a riddle.

Triumph could mean anythingInternation Underwear is possibly the most popular company that uses Triumph as brand name.It is rather doubtworthy that Amstrad seriously planned this partnership<gallery>File:Triumph-1907-2.jpg|Triumph BicycleFile:2009-triumph-bonneville-3.jpg|Triumph MotorcycleFile:1918triumph.jpg|Triumph Motor Car</gallery>
* http://enThe Triumph brand name is also used by several bicycle, motorcycle, and automobile manufacturers.wikipediaUnlikely that Amstrad planned partnerships here, too.org/wiki/There was also a TriumphRecords company. There is also an Triumph Electronics company in USA, though according to their About Us page, ''Triumph Electronics incorporated in 2007'' (thus it can't have anything to do with the CPC), interstingly, they say ''We stand out from the crowd by our professionalism'' (though as by 2010, the About Us page still doesn't work yet with Opera, nor mainstream browsers like Firefox or Internet Explorer).
including "a worldwide underwear manufacturer" which is actually the most popular meaning - though also the most unlikely one in context with the [[LK Links]]-selectable '''See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triumph 64K Microcomputer''' boot messagefor more possible meanings.
