Perhaps it would be a good idea to upload de-interleaved images along with
the .IMD, .DSK and a quick document that explains the situation. Otherwise
we will have this coming up every now and then and people will scratch
their heads until Paul explains the details.
I hope all this will be shipped off to bitsavers sooner or later, right?

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.
