An Idea That Probably Won't Work...

Hello everyone. I've been interested in clasics for quite some time, but I
just had an idea that will make collecting easier for all of us. It's what
I call a "Componet Showcase", where, instead of showing a system, you
simply show... say, an 8-bit ISA card, or a old 16 K ram chip. What I mean
is a system that's made of a custom board, if possible compatible with as
many systems as possible. (I know that Apple figuresd out how to get x86
chips working with their systems.), and also a system, that, in it's own
right, may become a classic of it's own. (In about 15 years: They're great
systems, but they only made a few dozen, for a computer collecting club) I
don't have enough knowledge for something like this, but if any of you
could help me, I'm sure that together we can get something done. Here's
another possibility for this system: Catalog. So what we'd do is equip it
with a modem (a 2400 baud or so should do), made for the sole purpose of
checking group e-mails. There would be a catalog that would have a list of
systems, monitors, componets, etc. With "links" to these componets. It's
just a dream, but with the help of everyone, it can be much more.
        Bye for now,
