Why not bite the bullit and pick a Day, Month, And Year for what is "classic" and be done with it. You have a 10 year rule now with 100 exceptions that are older then 10 years but nobody wants on the list. Maybe the core people here only care about mainframes from the 60's-70's, if so then just say so and be done with it. I can think of quite a few systems made in the 80's that have much newer equipment added to them (including ATA HD's) for functionality. When you keep older systems running with newer hardware where can you turn for help?
