There is one at 
ftp://legacy.gsfc.nasa.gov/fits_info/sample_files/events/rosat_pspc_rdf2_3_basic.fits

The second extension (STDEVT) contains the standard event list.  The X and Y 
columns contain the sky coordinate of each detected X-ray photon.  An image 
can be produced by making a 2D histogram of the values in those columns, and 
  the WCS keywords can be used to attach R.A. and DEC coordinates to the image.
