That's going to be a tough one, I think, Lee, unless Glenn Everhart
put those issues on the Sig tapes.  It would have been the Ralph
Stamerjohn era.  I used to have a telephone number for Ralph because
he was working a decade ago for a company we do business with, but
I suspect he is long retired, and probably would disavow any
knowledge of RSX at this point anyway.

As I recall, that era was when you joined a Sig and the issues were
mailed out directly - i.e., before DECUS started binding them
together in an attempt to have only one item to be published and
distributed instead of dozens of small newsletters mailed
individually.

A simple search on DECUServe/Encompasserve returns a smattering
of ancient hits:

 EISNER_111> sear decuserve_titles multi,taske/mat=and
 HARDWARE_HELP                 8-JUL-1987   25.18  The Multi-Tasker is okay now
 PDP-11                  365  27-NOV-1991     2  [RSX] Old Multitaskers up for grabs
 PDP-11                       18-DEC-1991  365.2  Multitasker resting place
 PDP-11                  423  15-MAR-1995     0  Early Multi-Tasker fiche available

Item 25.18 is just a comment that someone should send their technical article
to Bruce Mitchell, MultiTasker editor at the time.

365.* is Galen Tackett offering to give away his set of low-numbered
MultiTaskers.  Outcome:

 "The Multitaskers went to Arnold De Larisch, who is working on an
 archival project for the SIG."

423.* is Tony Scandora's offer but there were no responses.

FWIW, both of those conferences are available online - see "readonly
