Sure, that's neat. But I don't have it -- John Z does...
You can log into

Be glad you don't own this machine, 400 V three phase power and 130 A

People have built Cyber replicas out of FPGAs; it
doesn't seem all
that hard.
There is the book "Design of a Computer, The Control Data
6600". It
states somewhere that the machine was build out of 400.000 transistors.
So it seems quite possible to reimplement it in FPGAs.
