Sadly not. AFAIK none of the original staff are still
with the company, now called "Cabot communications" (cabot.co.uk). A good
contact, if you can find him, would be Gordon Wilkie who used to be the technical manager
and knew the P-System inside out. (A quick bit of hunting shows him as a freelance -

Good find!
There were once a handful of non-exclusive licensees, but Cabot was the
last one standing with UCSD. A decade ago, they were pushing the P-System
to drive set-top cable boxes (presumably as an alternative to Java).
I think that hope faded around 2001.
UCSD did release I.5:
