Does anyone on this list have any machine readable copies
of RSTS/E besides the v7 one that we use with Bob Supnik's
simh simulator? I am looking for some of the older versions,
such as 6A, 6B, or 6C. I have v7, but in order to recreate an
accurate reincarnation of what my group used in 1977-79, I
need the v6 versions.
Does anyone know if any of the v6 or v5 distributions have
survived to the present time?

I do have some, but those are newer than what you want.. havent
seen any "old" ones yet.

Copies of V6 have survived, I'm aware of one list member that has a
copy, but can't get to the physical media at this time. I'm also
aware of one or two other people that have emulator images but,
despite of the "Supnik License", are unwilling to make it available.
I'm not aware of any copies of V5, but three DECtapes for V4A-12 were
recently imaged.
I'd be *VERY* interested in getting copies of pre-V7 RSTS, as well as
additional versions of V7 and V8 , and any layered products.

Where would that be? I've been hoping to get my copy recovered from
9-track tape, but the tape currently doesn't want to be found...
Since I started on 4A, I have a special interest in that one.

If anyone on the list has a pre-V7 version of RSTS/E, can you contact me
off-list?
Thanks,
Ashley
