After much searching, I finally found a link to the V05.06 manuals:
http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/pdf/dec/pdp11/rt11/v5.6_Aug91/

What I was surprised to learn is that there is even a Volume 0 manual:
AA-M214D-TC RT-11 Quick Reference Manual
is the manual which is placed into this volume.

Also the Release Notes manual PDF file and that link are:
AA-5286L-TC_RT-11_System_Release_Notes_Aug91.pdf
http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/pdf/dec/pdp11/rt11/v5.6_Aug91/AA-5286L-TC_RT-11_System_Release_Notes_Aug91.pdf

However, I have NOT been able to locate is a PDF for the
V05.07 RT-11 Release Notes.  That front page has the following
information:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RT-11
System  Release  Notes

Order Number  AA-5286M-TC

October 1998

This manual contains the technical changes made to the RT-11 Operating
System since Version 5.6 and supplemental Notes from the Version 5.6 Release
Notes applicable to this version.

Number of Pages in each Section:

Pages A-1 to A-2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If anyone knows if the V05.07 RT-11 Release Notes manual has been
scanned and the PDF made available on the internet, a link to that location
would be appreciated.
