direct your attention to the fourth picture. Two of the SuperPETs
contain those "Super OS/9 M.M.U." boards produced by the Toronto PET
Users Group (TPUG) [1] back in 1985 and if memory serves, they allow
for bitmapped graphics on the SuperPET.
That's cool! This is the first I've heard of bitmapped graphics on
the PET.
The first bit-mapped board I saw for the PET was by, IIRC, MTU. It was
advertised in Byte, etc., in the day. Never saw one up close, just
screenshots of plotted mathematical equations.
