I found a list on the MIST site

https://github.com/mist-devel/mist-board/wiki/FPGA-Projects

https://github.com/mist-devel/mist-board/wiki/TheBoard

which is a project to let you run multiple emulations on a single board...

There is also another IBM1130 emulation which is functional rather than
cycle accurate...
