I wondering have any of use done anything like this?

I've examined and written about (and done some limited implementation of) Simon, which
is Harvard architecture.

Due to it's limitations I haven't been all that enthused about fully constructing
it however.
It could perhaps be expanded into something more interesting.
There's another relay computer design and implementation here which looks
interesting:
