A fair amount of archaeology has already been performed on LSX:

See in particular the "LSX Unix Restoration Page":

  https://www.mailcom.com/lsx/index.html

which has the whole story of a prior reclamation, and Heinz' original BSTJ
article on it, which he has put online here:

The most useful thing you could find would be the two user-mode programs
needed to support contiguous files (the kernel does not support the creation
of such files; there were two separate user-mode programs, one to allocate
space for such files, and one to move a file into such an area). It is
possible they are already online somewhere in the prior reclamation, and I
just didn't find them, but if not, perhaps your new set of floppies has them.
