I'm busy building a CVS repository (two, in fact, but the one with 2nd
Edition source code will be closed to the public :-) of 3rd Edition
and 4th Edition Plan 9 source code.  Unfortunately, I'll have missed a
series of updates to sources by the time everything is in place, but
perhaps there's a dump9660 somewhere to minimise the loss.

It's a lenghty, somewhat tedious process, but I ought to have it
online before the end of February.

If in the meantime somebody can produce a "dump" like snapshot of
sources since its inception, or even copies of the various "release"
images, I'll try to make the resolution of the CVS repository as fine
as I can.  It will definitely be a best effort exercise.

PS: I'm back online after a longish absence.  I'll catch up as best I
can.
