simH did not change the size of the disk image. By default, simH
will automatically
detect the type of disk on a particular controller (e.g.
RL01/RL02, RK06/RK07) based
on the size of the disk image. When I attached the image and did
a?sh rl0? it showed up
as an RL02 - those extra few bytes made the difference. The RSX
distribution kit I
have is probably from a different source. Later testing showed
that I could copy the
baseline disk to an RL02 using standalone BRU but I was unable to
do the copy using
standalone DSC (an earlier backup program).
I just checked the current simH source and, if autosize is
enabled, it treats any image file
larger than an RL01 as an RL02. If you turn off autosizing and set
the drive to RL01, it
will always consider it an RL01, regardless of the actual size.
Any attempt to read/write
past 5MB will return an error.

OK, thanks for explanation. I will report what happens when I try this.
