Hmmm. I've forgotten / not sure I ever knew -- but I did not think TSS-8 was an official product. I may be confusing / mixing memories here 🤔 - but I thought I remember the sources kicking around. (In truth, I'm not sure I can help much as I was late to TSS-8).
Anyway, I always thought it was created by a customer and DEC educational system group redistributed it. ???Maybe try checking some DECUS archives from the late 1960s/early 1970s if possible???
