A while ago there was a reference to PDP-10 DECtape images (on Bitsavers?) from
that era. I remember it has early RSTS sources on it. It may have what you're
looking for as well. You'd want to look for files with the .P11 extension
because they were fed to the MACX11 cross-assembler. (I think the sources for
that cross-assembler are also on one of those tapes. Not those for MIMIC,
unfortunately.)
