I had a batch of Amiga 2000 and 500+ with leaking battery that damaged the board beyond repair. I was able to save the 68000 from those and from an Atari 520STfm that was damaged during shipping from Greece (something fell on it and cracked both the case and the PCB). I also have two 65C02 from some defunct Apple IIe and two 6510 from a couple of burned out C64. I ordered a couple of Z80 (brand new!) since I've found a nice project for those while researching for my homebrew computer. I may also get a couple of Intel 808x just for the sake of completness
Here's an idea. How about mounting all of them on a single board. Maybe put 4 sockets of each CPU type on a single board. Then get some RAM and mount that on a separate board, and connect them together with either a ribbon cable, or just stack them with a common header.
Then, run everything else through a USB controller port. Video, audio, network, etc.
I'd love to be able to mix and match any CPU with any RAM, and plug in everything else to a hub.
That would be a fun project.
