Agreed. The SIMH logic is that the container file
addressing matches
the addressing exposed at the interface between device and driver. In
the RX50 case, that is "logical order" because the MSCP controllers work
that way. Conversely, in XHomer it's physical order, because the Pro RX
controller works that way.
I think the bare image files should always be in physical sector order. As
you state it, it's the MSCP controller that rearranges the sectors into
logical order. And thus, the MSCP emulation in SIMH should exactly do that
when emulating a RX50.
