We hate 2020!

Just when we thought 2020 couldn't get any worse! We were about to re-open after many months of being closed but then disaster struck when a mains water pipe burst and flooded much of the ground floor of the museum.
Sadly re-opening has now been postponed. Read More >>>

No visitors, no workshops, no events, no school visits... no income. We know that things are tough for everyone right now, but if you can afford to help us through these tough times please donate what you can.

There's over 36,000 exhibits here! That should keep you occupied for a bit - get searching!

Or come and get involved on our social media channels ...

Thank you.

PBS Executive IV

In 1985 Portable Business Systems Limited in 1985 took a Sinclair Spectrum+ and incorporated it into a large briefcase along with a ZX Interface 1, ZX Microdrive, power supplies and an Alphacom 32 printer.

Our unit is type: 171285 with a serial number of 1358.

The system was developed for the financial industry and allowed sales representatives to take the system to a clients house and present a visual demonstration via the clients television.

The printer allowed them to leave financial information with the client, this was an early portable solution to take the office out on the road.

Manufacturer: Portable Business Systems Ltd
Date: 1985
