Now, if my memory still serves me, exactly that was the original
intention. Collecting knowledge about classic computers _and_
make it available to the general audience (Of course also, trying
to remove inaccurate sources).

The other topic addressed was a database of all computers, so one
could browse, as in a catalog. Also maybe a collectors database.
Tizianos 1000bit is (to me) the best attempt to do this on the
whole web.

Now, your intention looks more like a technical library for certain
computers ... such stuff is already out there, and I think classic
web organisation is sufficient for this task.
