That'll be me, I guess, It's in VHDL. URL in sig.

Subject: Re: How do they make Verilog code for unknown ICs?

What you can do (and I’ve seen it done) is define verilog modules that provide 
the functions of the IC and use that in their designs.  I’ve seen at least two 
interesting classic computer recreations using this approach (re-implemenation 
of the CADR lisp machine in verilog and an IBM 360/30 in verilog).

ROMs are easy (just instantiate a lookup table).  PLCs are just combinatorial 
equations which are relatively easy with the verilog “assign” statement.

Do you have a pointer to that "IBM 360/30 in Verilog", Guy?
