Yes we are planning on having the hp 2000 emulator!
cheaper to have tsb this way compared to running the whole system which will
eventually break and need repair...... I have NO spares for 2100
processors......

SW
Simple.
Have running software. It requires research as to what could be unique
and
interesting. But there will be finds for you to make
and then therefore
your visitors. For common machines (C64,etc.) you could run it on the
actual HW. For larger things use a simulator and have the wires disappear
into the artifact just as if it was that machine doing the processing.
Seems like obvious choices.
HW
There is an 8" Fujitsu SMD HD here that I once had enough of to run with
the
cover off the diagnostics made it do non trivial
things and a crash did
not
happen in the one test we did. The cover may have
even been planar,
meaning it would be easy to make a see-through one.
