The 11/83 question sounds like a job for SCSI2SD to me.  Install a system
with simh.  dd the resulting disk image to your sd card.  Hook the SCSI2SD
up to your 11/83 and boot from the card.  Copy the contents of that drive
to your real SCSI drive.  Done.

SCSI2SD cards are not expensive and are a tremendous value for money.
