saying you can fix PCs by board-swapping (actually, it's not, but that's
another rant), but often you find the replacement board/module is no
longer available
I think you're missing the point here, the idea was that using "current
pc tech" you could use current-standard software environment and
hardware interfaces, using the "pee cee" as an interchangable black box.
Software program inside, standard interface outside, everything else
purely blackboxed.
