Hi, folks. Tom Lyon here - this UNIX 370 stuff was
recovered by Stephen at
LCM+L from DECtapes that I've had sitting around for 40+ years.
You can read all about the Princeton/Amdahl project here:

Welcome.
If anyone wants to get serious with the code,
you'll need Hercules with a
VM/370 image as well as a PDP-11 emulator running V6. There's not a lot
beyond the kernel, I got the shell working enough to prove that fork
worked, and then ran out of steam because of the awful communication
problems between the PDP and the IBM. [ But that was my start as a
networking guy ]. I personally haven't had time to do anything with the
recovered bits.
Both items are available. Hoping it could be helpful, I share below some
links to related IBM 370 and DEC PDP-11 stuff that I've recently found and
more or less organized:
*HERCULES*
The Hercules System/370, ESA/390, and z/Architecture Emulator -
http://www.hercules-390.eu/
SoftDevLabs (SDL) version of Hercules 4.x, code named Hyperion -
http://www.softdevlabs.com/hyperion.html
*A branch of the original development of Hercules numbered itself as v.4
with more or less regular compilations *
*VM/370*
Robert O'Hara Six Pack Distribution v1.2 of VM/370 -
http://www.smrcc.org.uk/members/g4ugm/VM370.htm
*Very interesting because he includes in the same webpage downloads of the
previous VM/370 packs (Paul Gorinskey's, Andy Norrie's, Bob Abele's)*
*There is a BETA version v1.3 available too.*
Implementing VSAM under VM/370 SixPack v1.2 -
http://www.kicksfortso.com/same/KooKbooK/KooKbooK-14.htm
A compilation of Operating Systems for IBM S/370 available for download on
the Internet - https://geronimo370.nl/s370/s-370-operating-systems/<<
*It includes one direct link to the page of Robert O'Hara SixPack BETA
version v1.3 *
A relatively wide explanation of the features available in SixPack v1.2 -
https://hub.docker.com/r/rbanffy/vm370
*It includes something inusual: one link to Github where you can find one
DOCKER implementation of theSixPack v1.2 *
A surprising (and interesting) bunch of videoclips about VM/370 -
<http://www.hercules-390.eu/>https://bestofclip.net/search?s=VM/370
*PDP-11*
SIMH (Conputer History Sinulator Project). The original distribution, V3.10-0,
updated 24-Feb-2019 - http://simh.trailing-edge.com/
SIMH Original Software Kits (including bootable UNIX v7 and v6 disks) -
http://simh.trailing-edge.com/software.html
The SIMH v.4.x Github place, a branch of the original project with some
interesting additions - https://github.com/simh/simh
SIMH v4.0 development binaries -
