(gasp) Disk Monitor! - to use with the simh 1620

there aren't any 1620 software kits included with simh, and I've
searched the web and there just don't seem to be any for that machine,
anywhere. It's ironic that simh can simulate a complete 1620 system,
including the 1311 disk drives, but there's nothing to run on it.
I've either coded things up in absolute format or used a cross-
assembler on the simulator. Much more flexible, even if not
authentic.
It would be fun to run FORTRAN IID under Monitor, though.
Has anyone fixed SIMH so console typewriter output generates the
proper sound effects (i.e. sounding like it's going to fly to pieces
any second)?
