MSCP disks are a nice way to do disk emulation, because the OS
shouldn't really care what size you pick (up to whatever max drive
size it can handle). At least that's true with E11; I don't know
about SIMH.
In MSCP, the OS asks the drive for its capacity. So it isn't
necessary to emulate a specific "real" disk. I usually just pick a
size that's "big enough", let E11 call it an RA81, and RSTS just
believes the size it sees.
Conversely, for non-MSCP drives, you have to match the size since the
OS driver has the drive capacity wired into it.
