How to do a SYSGEN is well documented in the manuals. The specifics for
that SYSGEN is like a documentation (hopefully) of the actual hardware
that was available on that specific machine, and potentially specific
options that were chosen at that SYSGEN. I can't see much worth in
either of those two details. That could possibly be interesting to
someone who would want to document the history of the machine or the
workplace where this was used. Ie. a rather non-technical interest, and
more of a documentation of history kind of thing - possibly...?

If you needed to regenerate install for said system, would it be useful?
Or is everything in the docs? An 11/84 I bought came with a couple of
RSX-11M-PLUS V4.3 SYSGEN printouts; I
don't intend to run RSX on the machine, so is there any use to this printout,
or should I recycle it? If someone has a use for it, I'd be happy to send it
to them.
I'd seriously doubt there is any interest in such printouts. They
will essentially tell you how the system was generated - which
options, devices, and so on... How interesting is that?
