Question Is it possible to convert OBD 1 to OBD 2?

I know this might be opposite of what many people want, however would it be possible to convert to an OBD2 system from an OBD1?

I'm not sure how many sensors and stuff would be needed, but I was just wondering if it was feasible since OBDII gives a lot more info and I could use it to set up a digital dashboard on my CarPC (can't do that with OBD1).

What type of information do you want to put on your digital dash?

well if i have obd II I can check trouble codes right through the carPC at anytime and the digital dash will show any other data OBDII shows like oil pressure, trans temp, speed, dont really remember, but I also like OBDII better for troubleshooting, and it will allow me to change shift points sitting right in my driver's seat.

I'm keeping my car with just some bolt ons, probably just headers and some other small stuff, nothing major.
