[Simh] Lost PDP-11 OSes?

I have a tar tape which purports to load the PWB software onto a v6 UNIX
system, which I've not had time to try, yet.

I used PWB at my first real job, so I'm eager to try it.  If you can point
me at where you think I might be able to find a complete PWB system
(image?), I'd appreciate it.  I might be able to get it to work. I have V6
and V7 going just fine.

My eventual goal is to get KSOS running on PDP-11.  It was one of the very
first security kernels, and I also worked on that one, circa 1983-1985.

I have heard of UCSD Pascal on PDP-11, but not UCSB?
