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.
How are you loading the microcode?
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.
This is pointless - the caps are OK, and will be OK for some time. You
are probably doing more damage by power cycling the thing needlessly
(even if by a tiny amount).
