Looking for BSD or Ultrix tapes for MicroVax II

We have a Microvax II here doing nothing but collecting dust. True,
this isn't a state of the art machine, but it did do well as a
slow X terminal.
It crashed a few months ago from a bad hard drive. The hard drive
can easily be repaired or replaced. However, we don't have the
OS tapes for it. We just bought an Ultrix license, and our support
staff had one set of tapes. Well, they no longer support this
system, and don't have the tapes anymore.
So, is there anyone out there who has the OS tapes for this machine?
They need to be either BSD or Ultrix. Supposedly BSD doesn't run
on this machine, but our support staff had it on our machine for a
while because Ultrix had some trouble talking to the network.
The tapes need to be the wacky TK-50 kind.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!! Help us find the tapes for this machine. If
you know of anyone with a MicroVax II, pass this posting along to them.
I'm sure there are some tapes lying around out there collecting dust
which would get our machine back in business.
Thanks very much!
