unfortunatly LSI-11 runing 2.9 BSD is down for 1.5 year :) and
i have distributive only on the tape ...

but i found 4.3 BSD distributive dated 1985/86

rw------- 87/0    2064 Aug  5 22:58 1985 43/SYS/dist/passwd
rw------- 87/0     142 Apr 25 23:38 1986 43/SYS/dist/group
rw------- 87/0      79 Jun  7 23:32 1986 43/SYS/dist/motd
