Dave Brooks has the simplex story on his site (along with the P112).
There is also a web ring for homebrew CPUs, quite a bit of diversity
out there but PDP-8 is common along with minimalist machines for teaching.
However the most interesting is the Block 1 AGC (apollo guidence computer).

Ego a 16bit machine September 1985. There was
another article whose
focus was microprogramming vs sequential machine control and that used
the TOY1 archetecture. There were others described in TCJ Dave Brooks
simplex III comes to mind. There are others.
Toy I had forgotton.
Since TJC is now defunct are there any on-line copies of it I have read
the simplex web site.
