There are several other harder-to-find micros I'd like to see "reconstructed":

OSI Challenger 1P or II or SuperBoard II
Rockwell AIM-65
MDS-85
KIM-1

The TRS-80s and Apple IIs are easier to find, but I've seen people talk about
building new versions using modern technology so the actual system is very
small.

There's the Commodore 64 clone that has been mentioned before.

Now, new versions of some classic minis and mainframes would be nice, too.
There are new versions of the PDP-8, and someone is working on a PDP-10.  I
would also like to see a freely available FPGA version of a PDP-11 and a
VAX.
