Humph, I should

found it at bitsavers:

wow, I didn't know that so much of the system was still around somewhere.
Has anyone started work on typing it in and trying to get a system
built? How complementary are these listings with the
"1972_stuff" on TUHS?
the s2 tape in the PDP-11/Distributions/research/1972_stuff area contains
userland binaries and libraries from 1972, so there's a strong possibility
that the kernel in the PDF document would be able to execute the binaries.
