I've got the DOS/Batch stuff in hardcopy somewhere.  Never saw the OS running
on a customer site since it was not too good and was replaced by RSX/11, RSTS
and RT11 when they came out.

I only worked at DEC from 1982-1986 and no one I know still had it running.

Wikipedia says last release was v9 in 1974... Bitsavers has docs.

Digital had it then.  Don't you wish you could buy it now!
