It's been tried several different times and usually fails.
Back a few years ago, there were at least two services that
offered parts databases on bulletin board services.  For various reasons, they
died.

About two years ago our library benchmarked a number of(3?) CD-ROM based
catalog services.  The one I happened to see consisted of about 20 disks
and included a cross reference database as well as scanned pages from actual 
data books.  We never got the service, I'm not sure why.  I think the price 
was ~$4000. If people want names, etc. send me email and I will try to track
them down.
