I agree, but there are so many manufacturers and models that to
compile a drop down list will be almost impossible.

I would suggest a very flexible search engine instead.

Bad idea - too prone to error, typos, and varying interpretations on how a
name should be entered (like full name, acronym, abbreviated). The net
result is a potential for variations which would make searching more
awkward, since the searcher would have to try and second-guess the
variations and typos.
