I wasn't even aware of the Verilog PDP-11, so you've inspred me to update my
webpage with links.

I thought that Tokai University had done a VAX-11/780 implementation, in
addition to the PDP-11 one you mention above.  However, using Archive.org,
it looks like I may have been premature on listing that.  They were
apparently at least working on it 15+ years ago.

I also have a line on the FPGA page that says "RT Logic" was reimplementing
the VAX in FPGA for HP, but the link is understandably dead.

Since the OP mentioned Twenex...
