Well, with Dave's help we got the DSM-11 disk to boot on SIMH. Oddly enough SIMH
seems to read a raw RQDX1/2 disk pretty well.

The problem is I don't remember how to use it anymore. Is there a PDF of the DSM-11
manual anywhere? I think this was a clean install, but I'd like to check it for data
before putting it into archives.
Neat.
I know nothing about DSM-11 other than the name, and the fact it was the OS on top of
which ASSIST-11 was implemented.
Some googling turns up this http://www.ps8computing.co.uk/dsm-11.html which is modestly
helpful.
And this: https://kevinmurrell.tripod.com/dsm-11.htm
And this:
http://h30266.www3.hpe.com/MasterIndex/installation_guide/installation_guid…
which suggests that semi-useful manuals might be found in the VMS documentation set,
possibly under the name "Digital Standard M" rather than "...MUMPS".
