If you don't mind learning OCL (the minicomputer version of JCL) and
typing all the // commands at the command line of a text only terminal
(probably green rather than black and white :-) ) then yes, give it a
go.

But first find out what size it is. There were desktops (5364), desk
side (5362) and huge monsters (5360) plus some others (odd numbers)
(after my time). The 5360 had a version of my favourite diskette drive,
but I have spouted at length on this list about this in previous
posts...
