Several sources are reporting that it does indeed work. You’ll need to do some funny trick with swapping Memory Sticks (so you do need two of them) and modifying the PBP file of the homebrew application you’re trying to run, but when all is said and done it will hopefully work for you.

The Nerd Vittles staff will be taking a breather for a bit to recharge our batteries. But, in the finest college tradition, we’re leaving you lots of homework.

Early computers are a part of our technological heritage, and also offer a unique perspective on how today’s machines work. And within growing collections of original computers and home-made replicas, and the anecdote-filled web pages and blogs devoted to them, lies the equipment and expertise that will one day help unlock our past by reading countless computer files stored in outmoded formats.
