Many of these old systems were built like tanks and, with the exception of a
blown cap every 20 years or so, tend to just run - if kept in a nice
environment.

Did you know that the Z80 processor is *still* being manufactured today?
You can also still get 6502 processors new as well today.

Good designs are good designs and will stand the test of time.
