So a 6502(C)?

  Don't forget the BASIC interpreter. The problem is that making any computer smaller than a big cabinet requires large scale integration microchips, notoriously hard to make, and potentially replace. So it's going to be closer to PDP-7. You can do quite a lot with this sort of machine in an industrial setting.

    What's the life expectancy of an integrated circuit? I was thinking make tons of them and the odds are that some percentage of them would still be functional long into the future, assuming you package them up nicely.

    OP is suggesting premaking such devices in large enough quantities that you'd just rely on them for the foreseeable future to run that legacy code.
