Gemini 1 Runaway

Recently starting to setup in the new obs, I was adjusting the clutches on the MI250 - the Gemini 1 control fired up on it's ownsome. (I was nowhere near the controls, so it wasn't a "bump start")

Wasn't overly concerned, thinking it would pull up on the limiters - but it didn't - resultant RA servo collision.

I'm thinking this glitch may have reverted the Gemini back to factory settings, thus Sth becomes Nth again, and it has inverted the limiter settings, resulting in the collision.

Has anyone else experienced a Gemini runaway?
