Thanks!  I already know that the March 1992 and the December 1993 CONDISTs don't contain the patched versions, but only the plain versions of PSI and WDD.  I believe what I'm looking for is a patch kit, but maybe the original installation distribution was also updated at some point.  For PSI, the md5s (I know I know) for the distribution save sets are:

MD5 (PSI043/KIT/PSI043.A) = 9a7657c3967c87a5a54255720c1aec3e
MD5 (PSI043/KIT/PSI043.B) = 008f19a6b39b839cd3c87314de8dbfd0
MD5 (PSI043/KIT/PSI043.C) = 31237d0331e6d93fc7ab594929b54007
MD5 (PSI043/KIT/PSI043.D) = 66acb08a9bb975bc213cf60308b22c50
MD5 (PSI043/KIT/PSI043.E) = 0f1a86f56b43975f06466c9f75f109ed

I think the licensing situation for layered products is more complicated as not everything has been transferred to VSI.  Not sure if VSI or HP would object to the stuff be on archive.org or bitsavers.

This is just a recreational activity, so there is no urgency.  Still, I'd love to get this going.

Thanks,
