Hi Alan, if you want to image your disks and floppies for use with simh, there's an easy way to do it. All you need is a (Micro-)VAX having the appropriate drive(s) running VMS. MOUNT/FOREIGN <device-name> COPY/LOG <device-name> yourimagename.img DISMOUNT <device-name> Don't worry about the error message at the end of the COPY process - that's normal, just that copy discovers the end of media. You get an image containing all the blocks of your device in logical order - VMS will take care of the device details. I've done it several dozen times, it never failed (except for defective media). And it even works vice versa, I often prepare images within simh and transfer them onto my real disks and floppies. There might be a similar way to do it with a PDP-11, too, e.g. using "dd" with ULTRIX-11, or some other tools under RT-11, RSX or RSTS. Will you make your images available? Regards Ulli
