Many years ago, David Eckhardt’s group at CMU had it running, although when I played with it the hardware support was minimal. They took an interesting approach to using the openfirmware for driver mediation, IIRC. I don’t believe it was ever publicly released, although they were being pretty liberal with “guest” access.
I wonder if anything has changed about it’s releasability. Prof. Eckhardt would likely be able to say more/better.
