Yes, possibly.
That’s likely, but I wonder whether any other office workstations were actually developed.
You’re welcome, enjoy.
There are plates with labels and information but they’re small, easy to miss, and not for all items. But the venue is still relatively young and more work is underway.
What’s even more remarkable is 95% of the items on display still work. And they have lots more in storage.

Old fart Boomer here, my first computer was a Sinclair ZX Spectrum.
Reading computer magazines and books, and eagerly anticipating getting my hands on such material. Today’s kids born in an online era of infinite content just can’t imagine how difficult it was back them to get technical publications and information, printed or otherwise.
I’m aware of those accounts but they aren’t official.
The accounts of space agencies such as NASA and ESA.
You’re welcome.
My first was Slackware.
At the time I used Slackware and Red Hat which definitely required tweaking at least xorg.conf

Such a feature was relatively common on desktop and workstation hypermedia systems.
Thanks for the feedback, I edited the submission to move the link to the description.
Apologies, I didn’t know. Can you please elaborate on why?
ZyXEL U-1496E which, if I recall correctly, was up to 19.2 Kbps.
An interesting view. But the PET was definitely lower specced than the later 16/32-bit machines usually regarded as workstations.
