There is a great little book called "Compiler Construction" by Niklaus
Wirth (father of Pascal, Modula-2, etc). Where he gives the design and
implementation of a 32bit micro with 32 32bit registers, 3-address
instructions, etc.
It's real tiny (the interpreter takes up 2 pages in the book). And he
says it is very close to the MIPS 4000 architecture. Which (I think)
is considered one of the cleanest ISAs in any real-world micros.
It might not completly fit the bill, but it might be worth looking into.
(Also, there is a MIPS emulator called SPIM somewhere on the net that
might be fun).
