Sadly that is the way of the world

You don't see many horse drawn carriages around these days even though 
there are many in running condition in museums,

Accept that if you want to run old hardware, it will be booting old 
software unless you and your chums are prepared to do a huge amount of 
work resurrecting old software.

Check our Usagi Electric channel on you tube for the USAs oldest running 
valve computer,  or a PDP/11 running a full tcp/ip suite

But he is restoring these things for history, fun and museums.

You cant expect to buy a PDP/11 and download and run Linux on it.
