In the registry that I was planning on creating, I was going to include
a lot of 11/750-specific fields. Does it have a Unibus expansion
cabinet? What control store does it have? From the responses that I have
received so far, I have already run into questions about what should be
listed as an 11/750.
If someone wants to create a more general registry, I will support that
effort as well.

Certainly, if the registry is a plain old text file with one
maintainer then some limitations is probably good.
But with an rdbms and a nice front then it could encompass all
makes and models.
Some filtering on the output and bobs your uncle.
