Not yet... it's got v7 though.

Wanna rewrite the emulator for Xwindows to include a full 11/70 front
panel. (There's a PDP8 emulator complete with toggle switches. It runs
great on FreeBSD and it even emulates a 300 baud all caps teletype in an
Xterm... r...e...a...l...s..l...o...w...l..y.  I could even imagine the 
clunking noises).
