Really? So SIMH doesn't work with the images, or it's "slow"?
I prefer to keep images close to "real" as I may want to write them back
to physical floppies. For reference, these images do work with um....
the Goteks which is what I would use to load onto real equipment.
Why in the name of heaven would SIMH not support proper disk formats?

Yah. One problem with me is that I have the detail skills of a gopher. So I'm not the
best person to try and add proper metadata to files.
That said, they are a bit minimally descriptive due to DOS 8.3 naming conventions.
I'll take some pictures of the floppies and add a text document explaining roughly
what is what.
More important, can someone actually try doing installs on SIMH to see if all the files
are good? I want to make sure I didn't misname a disk or make an error like that.
I'll try out the micro-RSTS kit. One minor nuisance is that the images are in
physical sector order, so they have to be de-interleaved for SIMH since it uses logical
order. No big deal, but worth pointing out.
