I don't know about 8088s still being used in the mass market, but we still
build 80386s for CNC use. We even have one customer that runs his entire
machine shop off Apple IIs!
Apparently it is a lot cheaper to keep buying old machines and patching
things up than it is to spend $100,000 plus for new software to do whatever
they do.
That being said, I do have old Macs, C64 and C128 machines, tested and
working. Even have Claris Draw around here someplace. Are you fairly local
to San Antonio?

I have to agree, but then my interest is in running OS's & software that
don't run on some variant of IBM PC. For that matter my only interest in
old Mac's is in running ClarisDraw. As such while I might be interested in
an updated C64 or Apple 2e, this isn't something that grabs my attention.
Simply put to each there own.
One must assume that if they're going to this effort, there is a market. Is
there any sort of industrial application that would require these boards?
Looked at from that standpoint, these might make sense then.

Is this old news:

Why would someone do this ? An original working motherboard might sell
for $20 on ebay. I can't imagine this would cost less than $20.
I see whole IBM PC go for less than $100 all the time.
