Camille is my personal MacIvory development machine:

Symbolics System, FEP0:>cl-http-world.ilod.1
MacIvory model 3 Processor, 7.9M words Physical memory, 63.5M words Swapping space.
 Genera  8.3
Lavielle CAMILLE

Type c-_ H for Help.
Type Set Remote Terminal Options to set the terminal type.
Warning:  CAMILLE is a server machine.  Please exercise caution.

Command: (neti:uptime)
Host Name                Time up
CAMILLE                  15 weeks 2 days 10 hours 3 minutes 30 seconds
DF                       2 weeks 1 day 12 hours 41 minutes 55 seconds
TLE                      5 weeks 1 day 11 hours 16 minutes 46 seconds

The host machine ( a Mac ) has been rebooted atleast 10 times in between.
The Lisp Machine card will stay up. You just reconnect the Genera
Macintosh application after you booted the Mac to the still running
MacIvory.
