If you don't mind the language (or want to use babelfish), then I can recommend
this website:
http://216.122.37.159/brettschachcomputer/
By Kurt Kispert. He really is an expert and collector of chess computers, with
many infos on the site, inkl. links to other collector's websites. He also runs
a specific chess computers message board:

I have a few of these computers too, but not very old or rare ones. I think the
"rarest" is a CXG Super Enterprise of the late eighties, with a program by Kaare
Danielsen. Great Design - but only ~1500...1600 Elos.
I display some chess computer games on my website:

The comps ran at 40/2h. Opponents were PC programs (oldies too), running at 60
moves in 20 minutes on a P2/333 MHz, which is roughly similar to 40/2h on a 486.
