Yes, but not the onboard SCSI.

Probably. The Millenium aka Magnum 4000SC isn't supported yet; the support
for the SC/MC caches is still missing.

Yes. And with the experience I made with WNT on Olivetti I would not
even try to install it. It will just crash.

Yes. You can try to attach the machine's serial interface via a nullmodem
to another machine/terminal. The parameters should be 9600 8N1. Maybe
you have to hit the break key several times but then you should get some
output.
