It *is* a text file: a bunch of entries that look
something like this:
start-system ALPHA AS1000 AS1000-4-233

bus_eisa = [7 slots][CU-V6-5A]

specfp92 = [222.9][CU-V6-5A]
specint92 = [165.3][CU-V6-5A]
sys_name = [AlphaServer 1000 4/233][]
tpc_a = [300:(e)][CU-V6-5A]
end-system AS1000-4-233
I would turn that into a mediawiki template invocation, something
like:
{{system
| name = ALPHA AS1000 AS1000-4-233
| announcement = [1 May 1995][CU-V6-5A]
| bus_eisa = [7 slots][CU-V6-5A]
| bus_pci = [2 slots][CU-V6-5A]
| bus_pci_or_eisa = [1 slot][CU-V6-5A]
| cpu_clock = [233MHz][CU-V6-5A]
| max_memory = [512MB][CU-V6-5A]
| mem_checking = [ECC][CU-V6-5A]
| num_proc = [1][CU-V6-5A]
| os_support_vms = [OpenVMS V6.1-1H2][]
| specfp92 = [222.9][CU-V6-5A]
| specint92 = [165.3][CU-V6-5A]
| sys_name = [AlphaServer 1000 4/233][]
| tpc_a = [300:(e)][CU-V6-5A]
}}
...and then let the template do all the formatting.
