I will not offer an opinion at this time regarding whether you should
rescue it. People who have been reading this list for at least a few
days will know how I fill about such things.

But one volume of VAX-9000 confidential internal documentation fell into
my lap recently (ouch!), so if anyone does have a 9000 or acquire one,
I'll make a copy available.
