John Wilson does have self-bootable Fuzzball images on ftp.dbit.com,
in /pub/pdp11/fuzzball.

Fuzzball is an "operating system" of sorts, but you can't do development
with it unless you have the RT-11 macro assembler, linker, and other
program development tools, so there isn't a lot of interesting stuff
you can do with it unless you've also got a RT-11 license.

TSX+ is pretty much the same way - without the RT-11 utilities you're
dead in the water.
