 I don't suppose any exist though.  Instead you'd most likely go with an 
FPGA implementation plus the necessary bus drivers.  Internally it could 
replicate the original architecture even.

 People continue doing weird stuff nowadays; it's just the tools that have 
changed a bit.  I prefer to use a mixture of old and new, such as running 
a RISC-V box off an FDDI network, because why not! ;)
