   My knee-jerk reaction is that it'll be hard to find network and print   
   services for such a setup.  But on reflection, it follows that since the   
   penetration of old PC/DOS hardware is probably at least a hundredfold   
   greater than that of PDP-8s and HP1000s, I suspect you'll be able to find   
   niche hardware and driver support.  It just makes sense that this is a   
   fairly good-sized market.   
      
   I second the motion, FWIW.  :-)
