I can load up a few more from the beaglebone if interested.

If you don't mind? I for one am always curious about what's out there.
I have gathered up a few of languages that I'm interested in, and a few
other things
but there's always room for more.:)

As long as we're talking about it, is there anywhere that
images for it are being archived?
And, can one build an image on an emulator (like SIMH or Ersatz-11)
and use it on a real system or will I need to build all my images
on real hardware?
I have one now and hope to get my 11/93 back in operation. Would be
nice to have images for all the OSes.

via an emulator and have the hardware PDP write
it to a disk or emulator.
It runs over the serial console.
The format of the simh (for example) disk container doesn't have all the
data a physical disk has, the low level format.
You can create an RD-image using the emulator by specifying the number of
sectors and heads, and then use XXDP to low-level format it. Then use
vtserver to transfer the simulator image.
I have done this with my 11/23+ and 11/23 several times. Even to real
physical MFM drives. Works great.
I have not found any archives for images like that though.
