Note that SIMH always writes disc images in little-endian format, 
regardless of host platform.  If your real PDP-11 expects to see big-endian 
16-bit words coming from the drive, you'll need to byte-swap the disc image 
before writing it to a real disc.

(This is necessary, e.g., when copying an HP 1000 disc image generated by 
SIMH to a real HP disc drive.)
