    Please check! Are these your private backup files?
    This gap in the tsx-11 archives is old.

    Thanks for telling me. In fact, when he first asked,
    I made my archive available, but he didnt notice right away
    and after a few days he had collected almost all the kernels
    that I had in my collection. Then I wrote him once more
    and he added the last bit, making his collection equal to mine.

    I am always looking for missing bits, but disks were small
    in those days, and very little survives.
    Probably old CDs (or floppies) are the best chance.
    [In case anyone has these: I would be interested in old libc
    sources as well, say libc-4.4 and earlier.]
