Dennis is correct, the MTS source and binary tapes were released to the public a few years back and the URL he quotes is the hub for everything MTS. If you want to spin up an instance yourself from scratch, I wrote a little tutorial some time ago that will distill down the installation documentation for you, and notes a few potential snags:

There are a wide variety of assemblers and compilers included; here's an overview; just a few of them are broken (Pascal, C) but most run: http://archive.michigan-terminal-system.org/discussions/programming-languages-available-under-mts Have fun!
