I'm sure there are people that have it, however, there aren't any
publically available copies that I'm aware of. To the best of my knowledge
the oldest version that has been made publically available would be VAX/VMS
V5.5 on the original Hobbyist CD (which is no longer available).
Personally the oldest I've gotten ahold of is something like 4.4 (if that
old), and unfortunatly I'm not sure what condition the TK50 tapes are in.
