I've been experimenting with the SIMH VAX simulators a lot lately. The only way I know
of to mount a tape, disk pack, CD-ROM, etc. after boot time is to halt the simulation with
^e to get to the SIMH command prompt, ATTACH the desired image, and then resume the
simulation with CONTINUE.
Is there any way to attach/detach media images in SIMH without halting the simulation?
I've tried putting the system console on a telnet port so it doesn't occupy
SIMH's controlling terminal, and I found that it's still necessary to halt the
simulation to get back to the SIMH command prompt.
