Do you add non-microprocessor systems to this list, such as MSI/SSI machines
like the PDP 11/34?

  Hmmm ... are you the same Ronald Wayne who was the
third founder of 
 Apple and sold out for $800? 
No.  That is an alias I used while signing up for gmail.  I realised that it
was a very silly alias when I signed up for this list.  My name is Byron
Desnoyers.

Anyhow, I'll add processors when people suggest that they want to use it.
The general rule of thumb is that some version the processor must have been
introduced prior to March 1993.  Processors like the 8085, 6809, and Z80 are
dead simple to add (I just have to confirm what they are).  I'm sure that
some of you guys can throw much more difficult decisions my way too.
