OK, I just dug around to figure out what they've got up. It's odd, I could
have sworn they had stuff newer than V1.2! Geez, this is stuff I've
actually got the doc's for. I might have to setup a system running it
eventually.

32m-1.0-bin
        Ultrix-32M V1.0 BIN; 1984
        2 RX50 images; format unknown
32m-1.0-sw
        Ultrix-32M V1.0 D-SOFTWARE; 1984
        13 RX50 images; tar

32m-1.2-acct
        Ultrix-32M V1.2 BIN ACCOUNTING; 1985
        1 RX50 image; tar
32m-1.2-bin
        Ultrix-32M V1.2 BIN; 1986
        4 RX50 images; tar
        looks like kernel sources only
32m-1.2-binxx
        Ultrix-32M V1.2 BIN; 1986
        1 RX50 image; tar
        looks like field-service exercisers
32m-1.2-comm
        Ultrix-32M V1.2 BIN COMMUNICATIONS; 1985
        5 RX50 images; tar
32m-1.2-fort

        Ultrix-32M V1.2 BIN FILTERS; 1985
        1 RX50 image; tar
32m-1.2-prog
        Ultrix-32M V1.2 BIN PROGRAMMER; 1985
        4 RX50 images; tar
        RX50 4/4 is mis-labelled EXERCISER but contains what is
        pretty clearly PROGRAMMER contents (libc_p libplot libtermcap ...)
32m-1.2-pas
        Ultrix-32M V1.2 BIN PASCAL; 1985
        2 RX50 images; tar
32m-1.2-sccs
        Ultrix-32M V1.2 BIN SCCS; 1985
        2 RX50 images; tar
32m-1.2-writ
        Ultrix-32M V1.2 BIN WRITERS; 1985
        2 RX50 images; tar
decnet-1.1
        DECNET-Ultrix V1.1 BIN; 1986
        3 RX50 images; tar

Looks like they also have the following BSD stuff:
