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
Does it include ISPF? Using MVS is a bear without it...

can be legally run.

As to who actually did do EMACS, it was a cast of characters, and I wasn't
enough part of it to know who should be listed. RMS was, of course, primus

some stuff.

Just a follow-up on the problem of a Supermicro P6DGE taking forever to
boot up.
I tried several versions of the BIOS with pretty much the same result.
Since each reset the configuration (CMOS) memory, there was little issue
of an overlooked setting contributing to the slow boot.

The UMich guys have made available images of tapes from many MTS
releases. Not all releases are complete. They've also provided a built
system of D6.0 (1986? -87?) with all the further changes it was running
just before shutdown in the 90s. (No tape images for this version yet.)
