Yes, if "running" means "turned on and executing instructions".
I've
been (very slowly) hacking up a SCSI driver for it, but it doesn't run
an OS yet.
So far I've put a filesystem on a disk and restored a minsys tape on it
(both SCSI devices) but I haven't made a timesharing driver yet. That
project is set aside for a while so I can get other things done.
I make it a point to let it run at least a few minutes a month so the
caps don't dry out. I'd feel terrible if I neglected it to death. I've
already done enough damage.

So you have your KS10 running now days?
I hate to admit it, but there is some merit to that statement. Not

stops me from driving my '72 Dodge Pickup or running my old DEC gear.
The
fact of the matter is that you can emulate a PDP-10, PDP-11, or VAX on
a
Mini-ITX box that uses a *LOT* less power and generates a *LOT* less
heat.
