There was at least one older set in the archives.
http://minnie.tuhs.org/PUPS/archive_details.html mentions:
2.11BSD
-------
This is a complete distribution of 2.11BSD up to patch level 277,
sent in
by Steven Schultz. The distribution includes the tape bootstrappers.
Patch 277 was from around Oct 28 1995, which closely matches Warren's
post.
A late 1992 USENET post from Schultz regarding corrupt files in the
base 2.11BSD master tapes doesn't give me the idea they were real
keepers.

I just heard from Steven Schultz, who is
surprised that we don't have
the original 2.11 distribution in the archive. Steven says:
From the PUPS mailing list archives:
From: wkt at dolphin.cs.adfa.oz.au (Warren Toomey)
Date: Tue, 21 Nov 1995 09:19:41 +1100 (EST) I was certain that a base 2.11 is in the TUHS
archive. There was
a
tapeset sent down under and I recall someone working on a way to
simulate a tape drive over a serial line so 2.11 could be loaded.
Does this ring a bell, anyone? I've also moved 2.11BSD into the ftp archive
on henry.cs.adfa.oz.au.
There are several copies of 2.11BSD in the TUHS archives, the oldest
appears
to be http://www.tuhs.org/Archive/PDP-11/Boot_Images/2.11_on_rl02/ but
it's at patch level 303.
