Ask a curator at the Smithsonian or the British Science Museum if you
can take
one of their artifacts home to play with, and see how far you get.
What you will
find out is there is a big difference between a computer club with a
public
collection, and institutions following AAM guidelines.
Luckily the Berne Museum of Kommunikation does not use these guidelines,
or the Liltih's Medos OS source code would still be lingering on a
cartridge for very obscure and unreliable disksystem in a very
propriatary format.
Sometimes mere hobbyists do make contributions that museums are
unable/unwilling to deliver !
